Abstract

Background: The venous diseases have a prevalence raised in the world. The factors of riskare well-known, but the conditions of work can exhibit the workers to many risk factors to developa venous disease Method: there were evaluated the workers of the Santo Tomas university (teachers and administrative officers). A diagnosis was realized including an anamnesis, questionnaire of physical activity IPAQ, physical examination with a CEAP evaluation. Results: 42 people (23 men, 19 women), average age: 41 years old. 76 % presents a venous disease where 26 % is a venous insufficiency. The classification CEAP distributes the population in C0:21.4 %; C1: 35.7 %; C2:26.2 %; C3:9.5%. To be sat more than 6 hours is a factor of risk to have a venous disease (p=0.08). METs's expense for week of the physical this activity average is 2500. Discussion and conclusion: the population of the university is exposed to the factors of risk with a high prevalence. The factor of risk "to be sat " is the most predominant. The workers are described "minimally active" by the questionnaire IPAQ, but the density of the physical activity does not seem to be sufficient to have a protective role. A physical activity with exercise intense and a few advices to change her working conditions they might take care of the workers as for the venous diseases.
