ABSTRACT
Objective@#To explore the influence of heat and noise exposure on the risk of hypertension in workers,and to provide evidence for prevention of hypertension in occupational population.@*Methods@#Cluster sampling method was used to recruit 2 130 steel workers from four factories(north iron-making,long steel,cold steel and power department)of some steel company. A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect physical examination results,heat and noise exposure. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the effects of noise,heat and their interaction on hypertension. @*Results@#Totally 1 971 valid questionnaires were collected,and the response rate was 92.54%. There were 654 workers suffering from hypertension,with a prevalence rate of 33.18%. There were 1 006 workers exposed to noise,accounting for 51.04%;and 853 workers exposed to heat,accounting for 43.28%. The prevalence rates of hypertension in workers exposed to noise and heat were higher than those in workers without the above exposure(P<0.05). The prevalence rates of hypertension increased with the increase of age and working years(P<0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that noise(OR=1.711,95%CI:1.380-2.121),heat(OR=1.721,95%CI:1.394-2.125)were risk factors for hypertension;the interaction between noise and heat on hypertension was not statistically significant(P>0.05),while the interaction between noise and age(OR=1.086,95%CI:1.057-1.115),between heat and age(OR=1.087,95%CI:1.059-1.115)both increased the risk of hypertension.@*Conclusion@#Occupational exposure to heat and noise are risk factors for hypertension. These two occupational hazards also interact with age,which can increase the risk of hypertension in workers.
