Abstrakt:	Introduction: The objective was to analyze the prevalence of classic CVRFs in specialist doctors and establish if there are differences by sex, age and specialty. Materials and Methods: Observational, cross-sectional study carried out through an anonymous selfadministered survey of specialist doctors throughout the country. Sociodemographic and CVRF data were collected by self-report. Excess weight was considered if the body mass index (BMI) was ≥ 25. Records without weight and/or height were excluded. Results: A total of 2925 specialist doctors participated, 67.5% women and 84% between 40 and 60 years old. The prevalence of SBO was 75%. The most prevalent conventional risk factors were family history (AHF) 57%, excess weight (53%), sedentary lifestyle (44%), followed by dyslipidemia 21%, smoking 16.5%, hypertension 16% and diabetes 4%. Men had significantly more CVRF than women except for smoking and sedentary lifestyle, which were similar in both sexes. Discussion: Specialist physicians have a high prevalence of modifiable CRFs, which are also associated with AHF, present in more than half of the physicians. The prevalence is higher in men, intensivists and those over 60 years of age.
