Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the influence of prior cardiovascular risk (CVR) levels and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs) on returning to work (RTW) after a cerebrovascular event, finding a significant association.
- Out of 348 patients analyzed, 73% returned to work, with findings indicating that lower CVR levels and absence of certain CVRFs like hypertension, smoking, and diabetes increased the likelihood of RTW.
- The research suggests that managing conditions such as hypertension and diabetes could enhance rehabilitation efforts and support RTW for individuals recovering from cerebrovascular incidents.
Background And Objective: To analyze non-work-related sickness absence (NWR-SA) due to inguinal hernia and the factors related to its duration, paying particular attention to the pre-surgical period of NWR-SA.
Material And Methods: Prospective cohort study was conducted on 1,003 workers with an episode of NWR-SA due to an inguinal hernia, belonging to the insured population of a mutual insurance company. We assessed the duration of the NWR-SA episodes and the main demographic, occupational and clinical variables potentially related to it.

Objective: This study assesses the effectiveness of a structured telephone survey on cardiovascular prevention, in modifying lifestyle, on cardiovascular risk parameters, percentage of smoking cessation and overall cardiovascular risk (CVR).
Design: Quasi-experimental study of preventive intervention.

Association of moderate and severe hypertriglyceridemia with obesity, diabetes mellitus and vascular disease in the Spanish working population: results of the ICARIA study.
Atherosclerosis
December 2009
Aim: To study the prevalence, risk factors, and vascular disease associated with moderate and severe hypertriglyceridemia in an active working population.
Design And Methods: Cross-sectional study of 594,701 workers from all Spanish geographical areas, occupation sectors, ages, and sexes who underwent a yearly routine checkup. Data collected from participants included age, sex, anthropometric measurements, vascular risk factors, lipidic profile and basic biochemical analysis, from a fasting blood sample.
Introduction And Objectives: The routine medical check-up provides a good opportunity for screening workers early for cardiovascular risk factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors in the Spanish working population.
Methods: The study included 216 914 working people (mean age 36.
