Abstract:
Objective:To explore the influence of heat and noise exposure on the risk of hypertension in workers,and to provide evidence for prevention of hypertension in occupational population.
Methods:Cluster sampling method was used to recruit 2 130 steel workers from four factories（north iron-making,long steel,cold steel and power department）of some steel company. A cross-sectional study was conducted to collect physical examination results,heat and noise exposure. Logistic regression models were used to analyze the effects of noise,heat and their interaction on hypertension.
Results:Totally 1 971 valid questionnaires were collected,and the response rate was 92.54%. There were 654 workers suffering from hypertension,with a prevalence rate of 33.18%. There were 1 006 workers exposed to noise,accounting for 51.04%;and 853 workers exposed to heat,accounting for 43.28%. The prevalence rates of hypertension in workers exposed to noise and heat were higher than those in workers without the above exposure（P<0.05）. The prevalence rates of hypertension increased with the increase of age and working years（P<0.05）. The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that noise（OR=1.711,95%CI：1.380-2.121）,heat（OR=1.721,95%CI：1.394-2.125）were risk factors for hypertension;the interaction between noise and heat on hypertension was not statistically significant（P>0.05）,while the interaction between noise and age（OR=1.086,95%CI：1.057-1.115）,between heat and age（OR=1.087,95%CI：1.059-1.115）both increased the risk of hypertension.
Conclusion:Occupational exposure to heat and noise are risk factors for hypertension. These two occupational hazards also interact with age,which can increase the risk of hypertension in workers.
