    Objective: To establish the relationship between C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and risk factors associated with metabolic syndrome in maintenance workers undergoing Occupational Health assessments in 2016. The study type was quantitative, prospective, cross-sectional, descriptive. Maintenance workers who underwent annual health checks at an occupational health laboratory in 2016 were tested for glucose, HDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and measurements of waist circumference and blood pressure. These results were compared with CRP levels. Regarding the Spearman correlations between CRP and factors associated with metabolic syndrome, a correlation coefficient of 0.190 was observed with a significance of 0.086, indicating no significant relationship with CRP. However, a significant relationship was found between glucose and CRP in this population, with a correlation coefficient of 0.291 and a significance of 0.008. Among the metabolic syndrome factors compared with CRP, glucose was found to have a significant relationship with a correlation coefficient of 0.291 and significance of 0.008.
