Introduction. The ergometry test made by bruce protocol is a diagnostic method to determine the presence of cardiovascular pathology. The prevalence of a positive stress test is variable, and can be up to 20% depending on the persons of the study. There is a poor information about the prevalence of a positive stress test, and the factors associated with it in male construction workers between 40 and 70 years of age. Cardiovascular diseases evidenced in a positive stress test are associated with underlying factors such as obesity, smoking, high blood pressure or hypercholesterolemia according to the literature Methodology. An exploratory analytical transversal study was made in workers of the construction sector, who were evaluated in an occupational health center between 2019 and 2020. The virtual medical records of those patients who underwent a stress test as part of an occupational exam. Records with incomplete or inconsistent medical data were excluded. The result variable, positive stress test (PEP), was determinated as the evidence of cardiovascular disease determinated by pathological cardiovascular signs, alteration of heart rate, electrocardiographic alterations or the presence of vascular hearth desease.The univariate analysis, we calculated the prevalence of PEP and the categorical variables. In the analysis of numerical variables was calculated the central tendency measures (mean and median) and the measures of dispersion (standard deviation and interquartile range) were calculated. In the bivariate analysis was calculated Pearson's chi-square between PEP and cualitatives variables. In numerical variables, the analisis was made with Student's t-test or the U-Mann-Whitney test. The multivariate analysis was made with a generalized linear model with Poisson family and log link function to calculate crude and adjusted prevalence ratios. Results. PEP prevalence in patients undergoing a first stress test during an occupational examination was 28.86%. There is an association between having systolic blood pressure greater than 120 mmHg and having a positive stress test (PR(a) 2.21, CI 1.80 – 2.70). In addition, there is an association between cholesterol levels higher than 200mg/dl and presenting a PEP (PR(a) 1.27, CI 1.03 to 1.55) Conclusion. the prevalence of PEP was 28.86%. There is evidence of a statistically significant association between having systolic blood pressure greater than 120 mmHg and having total cholesterol levels higuer than 200 mg/dl with presenting PEP in male construction workers over 40 years old. The determination of these associated factors allows the creation of promotion, prevention, diagnosis and treatment programs aimed at improving cardiovascular health in the population described.
