Prevalencia de hipertensión arterial y sobrepeso en empleados de una empresa de vigilancia de Bogotá y dos empresas de transporte público del municipio de Tenjo, Cundinamarca durante el periodo comprendido entre junio y noviembre del año 2017

The study was made in order to find the prevalence of hypertension and overweight in public service drivers and security guards. By this way we seeked to raise awareness of the health status of workers, and provide recommendations to improve life styles and habits, so as to be able to provide recommendations that will help to improve life habits in order to avoid complications and illnesses brought about by the occupation. The population that was taken into account were two companies of public service drivers and one of private security workers, in which blood pressure, weight, height , 11 and abdominal perimeter were taken twice, with an interval of one month in each of the shots, on the other hand, the individuals who required a third blood pressure, their intake interval was three weeks. In addition, a survey was conducted on each worker to characterize the population and establish the risk factors. Results were obtained as the prevalence of arterial hypertension in public service drivers is 4% and for security guards 9% in this group the value is due to the difference in population number; On the other hand, the prevalence of overweight in drivers is 15% and 8% for security guards, underestimating the two significant risk factors, including alcohol consumption and sedentary lifestyle. The results show that there is a greater prevalence of overweight in both populations compared to the rate of arterial hypertension found in both groups.
