[Atherogenic indices in workers of different occupational sectors of the Spanish Mediterranean area].

Introduction: Atherogenic indices predict cardiovascular disease, as they provide a good reflection of the clinical and metabolic interactions of lipid fractions.

Material And Method: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on 60,798 workers in the Spanish Mediterranean area on whom different atherogenic indices (cholesterol/HDL, LDL/HDL, triglycerides/HDL) were determined, and the influence they have in the different productive work sectors.

Results: In women, the mean values of the different atherogenic indices are better in the health sector, while they are better in men in the primary sector.
