Abstract:
Objective To investigate the status of metabolically unhealthy status (MUS) and its influencing factors in male residents living around a uranium mine in Guangdong Province. Methods A total of 867 local male residents born and living around a uranium mine in Guangdong Province were selected as the study subjects using two-stage random sampling method. The residents were divided into 10 km- and 20 km- radius groups, according to their living distance <10 km or 10-20 km from the uranium mine. Blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, and blood lipid levels were tested among the study subjects. The influencing factors of MUS and its components were analyzed by multiple logistic regression. Results The detection rate of MUS was 42.2%. The detection rates of MUS component such as elevated diastolic blood pressure, elevated systolic blood pressure, elevated fasting blood glucose, elevated triglyceride and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) were 48.8%, 60.9%, 11.9%, 40.7% and 19.3%, respectively. The MUS detection rate in the 10 km group was lower than that in the 20 km group (38.5% vs 45.9%, P<0.05). The result of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that subjects aged >50 years had a higher risk of MUS and elevated systolic blood pressure than those aged ≤ 50 years (all P<0.05). Drinkers had a higher risk of MUS, elevated systolic blood pressure, elevated diastolic blood pressure, elevated triglyceride, and low HDL-C than non-drinkers (all P<0.05). Those who ate fruit occasionally had a higher risk of MUS than those who ate fruit regularly (P<0.05). Overweight and obese individuals had a higher risk of MUS, elevated systolic blood pressure, elevated diastolic blood pressure, elevated triglyceride, and low HDL-C than those with normal body mass (all P<0.05). Individuals in the 20 km group had a higher risk of MUS and low HDL-C than the 10 km group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The risk factors of MUS detection among male residents living around the uranium mines are age > 50 years, drinking, occasional fruit intake, and being overweight or obese. Age > 50 years, drinking alcohol, overweight and obesity can affect the detection of MUS components in different degrees. Environmental radiation levels have not been identified as a risk factor for MUS in these study subjects.
