This study aimed to examine the interrelationships between occupation and prevalence of risk factors for type 2 diabetes between workers of the nursing staff and other professionals and occupational health, taking advantage of the chance that workers of the nursing staff, when compared to other developing activities in hospitals, but the performance of other occupations, present a higher prevalence of risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes mellitus. We conducted a cross-sectional study with 299 patients, based on form, anthropometric and biochemical analysis, covering socio-demographic variables and relative risk factors for type 2 diabetes. It was found that 40.5% of the sample were nursing workers, 63.9% were women, 68.6% were under 35 years, 49.5% had a level equivalent to high school and 51.9% From analysis of the prevalence ratio, applied to all risk factors for diabetes type 2 investigated were statistically significant the following factors: abdominal obesity, Waist-Hip Ratio (WHR) changed, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, macrosomia, family history of stroke, family history of heart attack, history family of venous thrombosis and HDL-cholesterol. Among the risk factors with statistical significance, were more prevalent among workers in nursing: abdominal obesity, WHR changed, lifestyle, family history of stroke and family history of stroke. Thus, it appears that the hypothesis of the study, within the institutional analyzed, has been proved. It is expected, with the study, to contribute to the debate about the risk factors for type 2 diabetes in nursing and, in broader level, the maintenance of occupational health.
