ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

To analyze the relationship between the cumulative noise exposure( CNE) and prevalence of hypertension in automotive manufacturing workers.

METHODS:

A total of 1 535 noise-exposed male workers with length of service ≥ 1. 0 year from automobile manufacturing industries in Guangzhou City was chosen as study subjects by convenience sampling method. The noise intensity in the workplace was measured, the CNE calculated, and the occupational health examination conducted.

RESULTS:

The prevalence of hypertension of the study subjects was 8. 1%( 125/1 535). The prevalence of hypertension showed an upward trend with the increase of CNE( P < 0. 01). The multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the prevalence risk of hypertension increased with the increase of CNE after adjusting for confounding factors such as body mass index,smoking and wearing personal protective equipment in automobile manufacturing workers( P < 0. 01).

CONCLUSION:

There is a dose-effect relationship between prevalence of hypertension and CNE in automobile manufacturing workers who exposed to noise.
