Sociodemographic variables (sex, age), physiological variables (BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, glucose, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL) and lifestyle variables (physical activity, alcohol consumption and smoking) were analyzed. The Mann-Whitney U test and the Chi-Square test were used.Results:66.7% (n = 830) were university professors compared to 33.3% (n = 415) of administration and service workers. In this last group there was a higher proportion of women (62.9% vs 52.2%, p<0.001), a higher median age (53 [24-66] vs 45 [23-73], p<0.001). Regarding the cardiovascular risk variables, the administration and service workers group presented a higher percentage of smokers (21.7% vs 11.3%, p<0.001), a lower proportion of daily drinkers (7.0% vs 8.5%, p< 0.003), higher BMI (25 vs 24.1 p<0.001), higher LDL cholesterol levels (116 vs 111 p<0.03) and total cholesterol (194.2 vs 188 p<0.004). This group also presented higher levels of systolic (121 vs 118 p<0.001) and diastolic blood pressure (74 vs 71 p<0.001). ). No differences were found in the rest of the variables.Conclusions:Lipid levels, blood pressure and smoking are significantly higher in PAS. It is necessary to study the possible influence of working conditions on the cardiovascular risk of these workers %~
