Prevalence of dyslipidemia and risk factors among coal miners under different work conditions / 中华劳动卫生职业病杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To understand the prevalence of dyslipidemia and risk factors among coal miners under different work conditions.@*Methods@#The survey was conducted from April 2016 to June 2016. 759 mine workers were divided into three groups (group of the front line miner, underground auxiliary and ground) . Questionnaire and physical examination were used to collect related information of workers. Logistic regression model was used to analyze relative factors.@*Results@#The overall prevalence of dyslipidemia was 43.2% in coal miners. The prevalence rate of the front line miner and underground auxiliary miners was 46.6%. Ground workers had the lowest prevalence rate of 36.4%. Multiple Logistic regression analysis showed that higher body mass index (BMI) was risk factors for underground workers (OR=2.18, 95%CI1.51~3.13) . Smoking (OR=1.99, 95%CI1.17~3.38) , drinking (OR=1.85, 95%CI1.11~3.06) , hypertension (OR=1.79, 95%CI1.00~3.22) and higher waist and hip ratio (OR=1.06, 95%CI1.04~1.09) were risk factors for underground auxiliary workers. For ground workers, those with higher BMI (OR=2.64, 95%CI1.68~4.16) were at higher risk of dyslipidemia and female workers had lower risk (OR=0.35, 95%CI0.18~0.65) than male workers.@*Conclusion@#The dyslipidemia rate of coal mine workers is related to work environment and behavior. Health education may be needed to reduce the dyslipidemia rate of coal mine workers.
