    Introducción: Las enfermedades cardiovasculares son una de las principales causas de morbimortalidad a nivel mundial. Estas patologías aunque afectan principalmente a personas de edad avanzada, también están presentes en personas más jóvenes.

    Material y métodos: Estudio descriptivo y transversal realizado en 5.370 granjeros españoles (3.695 hombres y 1.675 mujeres) con una edad media de aproximadamente 41 años. Se analizan diferentes escalas de sobrepeso y obesidad, escalas de hígado graso, índices aterogénicos, escalas de riesgo cardiovascular, síndrome metabólico y otros indicadores relacionados con riesgo cardiovascular.

    Resultados: Aproximadamente un 20% de nuestros trabajadores presentan obesidad, hipertensión e hipertrigliceridemia. Un 40% hipercolesterolemia. Hemos encontrado altas prevalencias de síndrome metabólico, hígado graso y de valores elevados de las escalas de riesgo cardiovascular REGICOR y SCORE.

    Conclusiones: Pese a la baja edad media de nuestros granjeros, la prevalencia de valores alterados de las diferentes escalas relacionadas con el riesgo cardiovascular se pueden considerar elevadas.

    Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Although these pathologies mainly affect the elderly, they also affect younger people.

    Material and methods: Descriptive and cross-sectional study carried out in 5.370 Spanish farmers (3.695 men and 1.675 women) with a mean age of approximately 41 years. Different indeces of overweight and obesity, fatty liver, atherogenic indices, cardiovascular risk scores, metabolic syndrome and other indicators related to cardiovascular risk were analyzed.

    Results: Approximately 20% of our workers presented obesity, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia. Around 40% had hypercholesterolemia. We found a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome, fatty liver and high values of REGICOR and SCORE cardiovascular risk scores.

    Conclusions: Despite the low mean age of our farmers, the prevalence of altered values of the different scores related to cardiovascular risk can be considered high.
