Cross-sectional study examines factors affecting cardiovascular risk in healthcare workers, suggesting lifestyle changes could improve assessments.

Key Points

This study aims to explore how occupational factors, lifestyle habits, and sleep quality relate to cardiovascular risk in emergency healthcare workers.
Cross-sectional design involving 300 healthcare workers from ambulance EMS (n = 122) and emergency departments (n = 178).
Assessment of variables through a structured questionnaire and sleep quality via the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).
Statistical analyses included Mann-Whitney U, chi-square tests, Spearman correlation, and multivariable linear regression.
Median SCORE-2 value was 2.8% (IQR: 1.6-4.7), with no significant difference between the two groups (p = 0.855).
Participants aged ≥ 50 years had significantly higher SCORE-2 values compared to those aged 40-49 (p < 0.001).
Alcohol consumption was an independent predictor of higher SCORE-2 levels (B = 1.41, 95% CI: 0.60-2.22, p < 0.001).
