• W4283161845 abstract "Background Varicose veins (VV) are abnormally swollen, tortuous, and prominent veins caused by insufficient venous valves leading to venous congestion and elevated venous pressure. Prolonged standing at work has been proposed to be an important risk factor for varicose veins. Teachers are prone to have varicose veins due to prolonged standing. The aim of this study was to assess the risk of varicose veins among teachers in Al-Asha, Saudi Arabia. Method This was a cross-sectional study conducted among teachers of primary, secondary, and high schools in Al-Ahsa, of both genders, between April 2022 and June 2022. The participants were interviewed and examined for the presence of signs and symptoms of the disease. Finally, the collected data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, version 26.0 for Windows) software. Result Out of 399 participating teachers with a mean age of 43.2 ± 12.9 years, 216 (54.1%) were males and the remainder were female. The commonest symptom was pain in the legs, which was exacerbated by work (43.1%). Most of the participants were working for more than 16 years (43.6%) and standing for less than six hours per day (72.7%). The most pointed sign was spider legs-shaped veins (23.8%). However, the least collective sign was paleness in the ulcer area after healing (1.8%). A total of 140 teachers had a family history of varicose veins, 74 of them (18.5%) were diagnosed with varicose veins previously. We summarize our result as female teachers who have a family history of VV have more risk to develop the disease. Conclusion The prevalence of varicose veins was high among teachers in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. According to our study, teachers have a significant chance of developing the condition since their working style contributes to its progression. Further actions need to be made in order to increase awareness and prevent its complications." @default.
