Brief summary
Monitoring risks of cardiovascular diseases in working population (18 - 65 years old) by monitoring their BMI, ankle-brachial index with pulse wave velocity, cholesterol and glycemia.
Detailed description
Monitoring working population in their workplace by measuring their ankle-brachial index with pulse wave velocity, BMI, glycemia and cholesterol. Putting acquired data in correlation to their work habits, type of employment, work demands, job type, activity levels. Trying to find common predictors of cardiovascular disease. All assessed subjects must understand written and spoken Czech, must be employed in a company that consents with our data collections, must be older than 18 year old, doesn't have any bleeding disorder, doesn't have deep vein thrombosis (as it produces inaccurate data with ankle brachial index). Study will be conducted in Ustecky Region in the Czech Republic on approximately 200 subjects.
Interventions
DEVICEAnkle-brachial index - system 100
Measurement of ankle brachial index on all four limbs, drawing three blood drops for point of care (POC) cholesterol meter and one drop of blood for POC glucometer

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Body composition | 3 minutes | Using body composition scale the following markers will be counted: bone mass, body fat, muscle mass, water levels. All results will be in % |
| Height | 1 minute | measured by tailor tape measure (m) |
| Detection of glycemia, HDL, LDL and triacylglyceride levels | 5 minutes | Glycemia, HDL, LDL and triacylglyceride levels (mmol/l) will be measured from drops of blood by point-of-care analysers |
| Weight | 1 minute | measured by body composition scale (kg) |
| Ankle-brachial index | 2 minutes | Ankle-brachial index (no unit) using ABI-system-100 will be counted from blood pressure measured in all four limbs (mmHg) |
| Ankle brachial pulse wave velocity (baPWV) and carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV) | 2 minutes | baPWV and cfPWV will be measure by ABI-system-100 (m/s) |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| BMI | 2 minutes | BMI (kg/m\^2) will be counted from weight (kg) and height (m) |
