Abstract

This study aimed to ascer tain the relationship
of the Work Ability Index with Cardiovascular Risk in
workers of the prefecture on a university campus. It is
descriptive, exploratory, transversal and quantitative
research undertaken in 2012 through the analysis of
medical records of 226 workers who underwent regular
examinations. Cardiovascular risk was calculated using
the Framingham Risk Score. It was observed that 85.0%
of the workers were aged over 40 years old. Regarding
work capacity, 42.5% presented inadequate capacity. It
was identified that 31.2% of the workers had a risk score
between medium (20.8%) and high (10.4%) for developing
cardiovascular diseases within 10 years. It is concluded
that in spite of there being no significant association
(p<0.05) between the workers with inadequate capacity
for work and those who presented medium and high
cardiovascular risk, there was a high number of workers
with cardiovascular risk factors.
