Abstract:
Objective To investigate the effects of occupational exposure to ionizing radiation on blood indicators of radiation workers, and to provide evidence for occupational health monitoring. Methods This study included 3853 radiation workers who participated in occupational health examination in Gansu Provincial Center for Disease Control and Prevention from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The results of fasting blood glucose, renal function, liver function, white blood cell count, platelet count, and lymphocyte micronucleus were analyzed. Results The detection rates of abnormal fasting blood glucose and liver function were significantly higher in males than in females (P < 0.05), and the detection rates of abnormal renal function, white blood cell count, platelet count, and lymphocyte micronucleus were significantly lower in males than in females (P < 0.05). The detection rates of abnormal fasting blood glucose, liver function, and lymphocyte micronucleus were significantly higher in radiation workers with ≥ 21 years of working experience than those with ≤ 10 years of working experience (P < 0.05). The detection rate of abnormal fasting blood glucose was significantly higher in the non-medical group than in the diagnostic radiology, radiation therapy, and interventional radiology groups (P < 0.05). The detection rate of abnormal fasting blood glucose was significantly higher in the primary medical institution group than in the tertiary medical institution group (P < 0.05). The detection rate of abnormal liver function was significantly higher in the primary medical institution group than in the secondary and tertiary medical institution groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion Long-term occupational exposure to ionizing radiation may cause radiation damage to the human body. Health education should be strengthened for non-medical and male radiation workers to prevent the occurrence of chronic metabolic diseases.
