Introduction: There is sufficient evidence of the risks associated with diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease with obesity. Occupational health continues to be a challenge to integrate the detection of metabolic risks and timely interventions that prevent disability and deterioration of the quality of life Objective: To detect nutritional and metabolic risks in laboratory workers. Materials and methods: A descriptive and cross-sectional study was carried out in 26 workers (21 women and 5 men) from a State Laboratory of Public Health of the State of Guanajuato; Anthropometric indicators (weight, height, circumference, percentage of body fat), biochemical indicators (glucose, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, creatinine and urea) were measured. Metabolic syndrome was analisys in the participants. Results: The average age of the participants was 36.5 ± 12 years; 50% of the women presented obesity and 76% a percentage of body fat higher than recommended. Mean glucose was 79±9 g/dL, cholesterol 176 ± 31 mg / dL, HDL 12.9±49 mg/dL, LDL 23.9±97 mg/dL, triglycerides 152 ± 80 mg / dL, Creatinine 0, 6±0.1 mg/dL and urea 25 ± 6.6 mg/dL. Metabolic syndrome were detected in five women. Conclusion: A cardiometabolic risk of 23.8% was found, mainly due to the presence of obesity, distribution, and percentage of body fat in the workers, which with the average age the early risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension and dyslipidemia.
