Abstract:
Objective To analyze the incidence of prehypertension (PHTN) and hypertension of male workers in a coal mine and investigate the influencing factors. Methods A total of 10 155 male workers in a coal mine in Shanxi Province were selected as the study subjects using the judgment sampling method. Occupational medical examination was carried out to examine the prevalence of abnormal blood pressure (including PHTN and hypertension) and its influencing factors. Results The prevalence of abnormal blood pressure was 69.9%, with a PHTN prevalence of 44.2% and a hypertension prevalence of 25.7%. The results of multinomial logistic regression analysis showed that the risk of PHTN and hypertension increased with age, drinking frequency and body mass index (all P<0.05). Workers with a pulse rate≥100 times/min had a higher risk of PHTN and hypertension than those with a pulse rate of 60-100 times/min (all P<0.05). The risk of PHTN and hypertension in workers exposed to noise, silica dust or other dust was higher than those without such occupational hazard exposure (all P<0.05). The risk of hypertension in workers with abnormal blood glucose was higher than that in workers with normal blood glucose (P<0.05). Exposure to organic solvents was associated with a higher risk of hypertension (P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence of PHTN and hypertension among male coal miners in this mine is relatively high. The individual factors such as age, alcohol consumption, pulse rate, and body mass index, along with occupational exposure factors such as noise, silica dust, and other dusts, are influencing factors for PHTN and hypertension.
