    Abstract:
    Workers' health is of vital importance in order for workers to work at their utmost on their jobs. The prevalence of specific pathologies affects the normal functioning of workers, provoking incapacities and absences from work. The authors measure the prevalence of chronic type illnesses among cleaning and administrative personnel. The authors analyze differences based on gender and they evaluate its influence on the work assigned. In both labor groups, there exists a significant difference in the prevalence of varicose veins and scoliosis favorable in the feminine sex, a fact which corresponds to gender reasons and not to the type of work carried out. Arterial hypertension, on the other hand, is more prevalent among men in both groups, making them be exposed to a greater cardiovascular risk. The remaining pathologies found did not show any significant gender differences.
