Influencing factors of hyperuricemia in male workers of a petrochemical enterprise / 中国职业医学

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the prevalence and risk factors of hyperuricemia in male workers in a petrochemical enterprise. METHODS: A total of 1 604 male workers in a petrochemical production enterprise was selected as the study subjects using judgment sampling method. The living habits and health status of the workers were investigated, and the related examination results of hyperuricemia were collected through the “Occupational Health Surveillance and Monitoring Information System” independently developed by Guangdong Province Hospital for Occupational Disease Prevention and Treatment, and the influencing factors were analyzed. RESULTS: The prevalence of hyperuricemia in male workers was 29.6%(474/1 604). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that high diastolic blood pressure, high triglyceride(TG), overweight and obesity were risk factors for hyperuricemia in male workers after excluding age, smoking and other confounding factors(all P<0.01). The results of restricted cubic spline model showed that there was a linear dose-response relationship between hyperuricemia and body mass index and diastolic blood pressure( χ~2=36.19 and 21.46, all P<0.01), and a non-linear dose-response relationship between hyperuricemia and TG( χ~2=14.56, P<0.01). CONCLUSION: The risk factors for hyperuricemia among male workers in the petrochemical enterprise included elevated diastolic blood pressure, elevated TG, overweight and obesity, and there was a dose-response relationship.
