Abstract:
Objective To investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MS) in 259 professional automobile drivers,and to put forward targeted suggestions on protection.Methods In October 2014,114 male bus drivers and 145 male taxi drivers in a transportation service company were enrolled as investigation group,and 121 non-operating male staff were enrolled as control group.Physical examination and a questionnaire survey were conducted for both groups,and the results were analyzed.Results The bus drivers and taxi drivers had significantly higher prevalence rates of MS than the non-operating staff (17.5％/13.1％ vs 3.3％,P＜0.05).The results of univariate logistic analysis showed that smoking (OR=2.58,95％CI 1.14～5.88),exercise (OR=0.21,95％CI 0.10～0.43),meal time (OR=0.27,95％CI 0.13～0.59),and a family history of chronic diseases (OR =2.26,95％ CI 1.13～4.50) were associated with MS,and each independent variable showed significant differences between groups (P＜0.05).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that with age remaining the same,smoking was the risk factor for MS in professional automobile drivers (OR=5.25,95％CI 2.00～13.80),and meal time(20～40 min)(OR=0.20,95％CI 0.09～0.44)and exercise (OR=0.13,95％CI 0.06～0.30)were protective factors against MS.Conclusion Professional automobile drivers have a higher prevalence rate of MS than non-operating staff,which should be taken seriously by working personnel.
