This study sought to evaluate the risk factors for cardiovascular disease among bus drivers in Montes Claros-MG. It was used a semi-structured questionnaire covering personal data, anthropometric, and working professionals, and a questionnaire on the degree of stress. We surveyed 53 bus drivers and the average age was 30 to 39 years. (81.1%) did not smoke. 58% of the sample did not consume alcohol, 50% practiced exercise. In the assessment of BMI, 40 drivers (75.4%) were overweight. The prevalence of eating habits was excess consumption of sugar (66.0%), fat (64.2%), coffee (69.8%), salt (60.4%), coke (64.2%) and soft drinks (54.7%). Among reports of chronic diseases, diabetic drivers were not observed (98.1%) nor hypertension (94.3%). Most of the sample, 69.7% had normal levels of stress. Regarding laboratory data, the vast majorityof drivers had hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia. HDL levels were satisfactory, and the LDL level showed normal and desirable in more than half of the sample. The prevalence of cardiovascular disease was low.
