Обоснование. Профессиональный шум представляет собой значительную профессиональную опасность, затрагивающую большую часть населения мира. Была изучена корреляция между сердечно-сосудистыми факторами риска и воздействием шума, и были обнаружены противоречивые результаты.

Цель

Цель. Данное исследование нацелено на изучение связи между производственным шумом и факторами риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний среди рабочих, подвергающихся воздействию профессионального шума.

Методы

Методы. Кросс-секционное исследование было проведено среди 495 рабочих на заводе по производству бытовой техники. Участники были разделены на две группы, среди них работники, подвергавшиеся воздействию шума на уровне выше 85 дБ и ниже 85 дБ на работе. Демографическая информация, аудиометрические тесты, тесты артериального давления и липидный профиль были собраны из документов по охране труда. Для оценки связи между воздействием шума и факторами риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний были использованы многофакторные логистические регрессионные анализы.

Результаты

Результаты. Наши результаты выявили значительную корреляцию между воздействием шума выше 85 дБ и повышенными уровнями сахара в крови натощак, триглицеридов (ТГ), липопротеинов низкой плотности (ЛПНП), физической активности и высоким диастолическим артериальным давлением. После логистической регрессии для устранения влияния сопутствующих переменных связь между повышенными уровнями сахара в крови натощак, ЛПНП, триглицеридов и физической активностью осталась статистически значимой.

Выводы

Выводы. Текущее исследование показывает взаимосвязь между воздействием шума выше допустимого уровня и факторами риска сердечно-сосудистых заболеваний, особенно повышенными уровнями сахара в крови натощак, ЛПНП и ТГ.

Rational

Rational. Occupationalnoiseposesasignificantoccupationalhazard, affecting a large portion of the global population. The correlation between cardiovascular risk factors and noise exposure has been examined, and conflicting findings have been found.

The aim

The aim. This study aimed to explored the association between occupational noise and cardiovascular risk factors among word related noise-exposed laborers.

Methods

Methods. A cross-sectional study was conducted among 495 workers at a home appliance manufacturing factory. Participants are divided in two groups including workers exposed to noise levels above 85 dB and below 85 dB at work. Demographic information, audiometric tests, blood pressure tests, and lipid profile testing collected from the occupational health files. To evaluate the association between noise exposure andcardiovascular risk factors, themultivariable logistic regression analyzeswereused.

Results

Results. Our finding revealed significant correlation between exposure to noise above the 85 db and elevated levels of fasting blood sugar (FBS), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), physical activity and high diastolic blood pressure. Following logistic regression to remove the impact of confounding variables, relationship between FBS, LDL, TG and physical activity remained statistically significant.

Conclusions

Conclusions. The current investigation shows the correlation between exposure to noise above the permissible limit and the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, especially FBS, LDL, and TG.
