Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between occupational stress and blood glucose, Blood lipid and blood pressure.
METHODS108 video display terminals(VDT) operators who had the working experience were recruited to the study. The occupational stress indicator (OSI), the lever of blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, lipoprotein of high density and lipoprotein of low density in serum were measured by using GOD-PAP, CHOD-PAP, GPO-PAP and PVS. The subjects were classified into three groups according to the score of occupational stress.
RESULTSThe contents of blood glucose of low, middle and high level of stress groups were (3.39 +/- 1.24), (3.59 +/- 1.26), (2.54 +/- 0.94) mmol/L respectively (F = 7.324, P < 0.01), and with the increase of level of stress, the content of blood glucose decreased significantly (r = -0.376, P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe level of blood glucose of VDT operators is affected by occupational stress, among video display terminals and it can be used as the index for estimating occupational stress.
