Prevalence of hypertension in high temperature, noise operators and related factor analysis / 重庆医学

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the prevalence of hypertension in high temperature,noise operators and related factors.Methods A total of 1 263 workers from a steel enterprise were selected,among them,583 operators contacting with high temperature and noise served as the group A,267 operators only contacting with noise as the group B,249 operators only contacting with high temperature as the group C and 164 operators without contacting with high temperature and noise as group D.The prevalence of hypertension and related factors were analyzed.Results In the analysis of hypertension prevalence rate,the group D (12.8％) ＜ group C (25.7％)＜ group B (34.6％)＜group A(43.9％).In the analysis of blood pressure(systolic pressure/diastolic pressure),the group D[(115.8± 11.5)/(73.6±5.4) mm Hg]＜ group C[(124.1±10.7)/(81.9±7.3) mm Hg]＜ group B[(132.9±11.3)/(86.7±5.2) rnm Hg]＜ group A [(143.7 ± 12.8)/(92.4 ± 6.5) mm Hg].The onset age of hypertension in the group A was earlier than that in the group B,C,D (P＜0.05).The lower educational level,the more working years,the bigger body mass index(BMI),themore smoking and drinking were,the higher the hypertension prevalence rate was.Hypertension had significantly negative correlation with the educational level and significantly positive correlation with age,working years,BMI,smoking and drinking (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion The prevalence of hypertension in high temperature and noise operators is related to personal constitution and living habits.
