Abstrakt:	Objective: to assess cardiovascular risk among nursing workers at a public hospital. Method: a cross-sectional study, with 324 nursing workers, using a questionnaire composed of two information blocks. The first covered issues related to sociodemographic and occupational and health characteristics, and the second, the Revised Framingham Risk Score (FRS), to stratify cardiovascular risk. To assess work-related psychosocial stress, the Swedish Social Control Demand Scale was used. Results: the most prevalent modifiable risk factor for CVDs was waist circumference (75.9%), followed by overweight (43.8%), obesity (29.3%), alcohol consumption (21.9%), lipoprotein cholesterol low density (LDL) > 130 (20.7%) and hypertension (20.4%). Conclusion: it was found that 96% of workers had a low risk of developing cardiovascular disease in the next ten years, and male workers aged >40 years with shorter working hours are more likely to have cardiovascular disease.
