Relationship to cardiovascular diseases was investigate between Personal health profile, Occupational psychological hazards and metabolic syndrome status. Univariate analysis found that 4 variables were statistically significant (P< 0.05) as Female OR=0.38 (95%CI0.20-0.70), Age > 50 years OR=0.45 (95%CI 0.27-0.76), Working years > 25 years OR=1.9 (95%CI 1.12-3.21) and Mets OR=2.08 (95% CI 1.12-3.21), respectively. All variables were considered by Binary Logistic Regression, Female (Adjusted OR=0.28), Physical inactivity (Adjusted OR=2.48), Mets (Adjusted OR=2.07), moderate and severe anxiety (Adjusted OR=2.98) there were all factors that could predict the incidence of cardiovascular disease by 20%.
