Abstract:
Objective To investigate the current situation of occupational health of radiation workers in Zhejiang Province, China, and to provide a theoretical basis for the improvement of standards and management systems for occupational health examinations of radiation workers. Methods Data of occupational health examination cases were collected from occupational health examination institutions, including basic information, type of physical examination (pre-job, on-job, off-job), and health examination results. The differences in occupational health examination results among different groups were analyzed, and the factors influencing occupational health of radiation workers were analyzed using a logistic regression model. Results A total of 5668 cases were collected, with 86% of the participants being male and 14% being female. Compared with the pre-job group, the on-job group showed an increased abnormal rate of triiodothyronine and the off-job group demonstrated an increased abnormal rate of leukocyte count (P < 0.05). Compared with the industrial group, the nuclear fuel group showed decreased abnormal rates of thyroid structure and thyroxine and an increased abnormal rate of triiodothyronine, and the medical group demonstrated an increased abnormal rate of thyroid structure (P < 0.05). The abnormal rates of thyroid structure and white blood cell count increased with the increase of working age (P < 0.05). The abnormal rates of white blood cell count, thyroid structure, triiodothyronine, and thyroid stimulating hormone were higher in female radiation workers than in male radiation workers (P < 0.05). Sex (female), radiation work history, and age were the risk factors affecting the occupational health of radiation workers (P < 0.05). Conclusion The occupational health status of radiological workers in Zhejiang Province needs to be further improved, and the occupational health management of radiological workers should be strengthened.
