En 12 casos se detectó un índice cintura cadera alto y moderado, en tanto que 10 trabajadores presentaron hipertensión arterial. La carga de trabajo fisiológico calificó como moderada según tasa de frecuencia de pulso, y como baja según la temperatura corporal intraaural. La exposición a calor ocupacional estudiada según temperatura de globo y bulbo húmedo indicó ausencia de exposición a riesgo físico según la ley 16.744. La ingesta de alimentos calculada fue de 1.867 kilocalorías por día, situación que no se correlaciona con el alto índice de masa corporal, el porcentaje de masa grasa y la carga física demandada.
