Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality worldwide. Occupational activities may influence coronary risk factors such as BMI, blood pressure, and diabetes, particularly among sedentary workers.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association of coronary risk factors with BMI, blood pressure, and diabetes risk score among football factory workers.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 102 football factory workers aged 40–55 years in Sialkot, Pakistan. Data were collected using the Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire (PAR-Q), the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score (FINDRISC), and a coronary risk table proposed by the Michigan Heart Association. Descriptive and inferential statistics, including Pearson correlation, were performed using SPSS version 25.
Results: Among participants, 49.02% had high blood pressure, while 47.06% were overweight (BMI >24.5). Coronary risk was low (<5%) in 76.47% of workers, with 6.66% showing a high risk (>20%). Diabetes risk was low (<7 points) in 63.73% of workers. A weak positive correlation was observed between coronary risk and BMI (r = 0.200, p = 0.044), but correlations with blood pressure (r = 0.075, p = 0.455) and diabetes (r = 0.104, p = 0.297) were not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Football factory workers demonstrated minimal coronary risk due to their relatively healthy lifestyle. BMI was the most significantly associated factor among the measured variables.
