We obtained data using a structured questionnaire on sociodemographic and occupational factors and self-reported diagnoses of hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes. We assessed physical activity with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire, and alcohol and tobacco use with the Alcohol, Smoking and Substance Involvement Screening Test. We estimated prevalences and analysed associations with multiple risk factors using chi-squared test and Poisson regression with a robust error variance.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sedentary lifestyle prevalence was 71%; hypertension 30%; dyslipidaemia 24%; hazardous alcohol use 25%; hazardous tobacco use 14%; and diabetes 10%. Overall, 52% of participants had two or more CHD risk factors. In adjusted models, a higher prevalence of multiple risk factors was observed among drivers with primary education (adjusted prevalence ratio [aPR] = 1.71; 95% CI 1.26\u20132.32) and secondary education (aPR\u2009=\u20091.43; 95% CI 1.06\u20131.93), more than 10\u2009years of driving experience (aPR\u2009=\u20091.39; 95% CI 1.09\u20131.75) and mixed day and night shifts
