Investigation on the risk factors of osteoporosis in underground coal mine workers in Tangshan city
Objective To analyze the risk factors of osteoporosis in underground coal mine workers in Tangshan city.Methods A stratified cluster sampling method was used to select 1 072 underground coal mine workers in Tangshan coal mines from January 2015 to December 2020 as the research objects.According to the dual-energy X-ray bone density measurement method,they were divided into osteoporosis groups(n=164)and non-osteoporotic group(n=908).The risk factors for osteoporosis in Tangshan coal mine underground workers were analyzed by univariate and multifactorial logistic regression.Results Univariate analysis showed that the proportions of age and BMI<19 kg/m2,length of service ≥10 year,education level below junior high school,long-term smoking,excessive alcohol consumption,occasional intake of dairy products,and daytime exposure<30 min/d were higher in the osteoporosis group than in the non-osteoporosis group(x2/t=6.182,8.321,6.944,4.668,11.652,7.872,5.826,6.338,all P<0.05).Multifactorial logistic regression analysis showed that increasing age,≥ 10 years of working experience,long-term smoking,and excessive alcohol consumption were independent risk factors for osteoporosis in underground coal mine workers in Tangshan City,and≥19 kg/m2,frequent intake of dairy products,and sunshine duration ≥30 min/d were independent protective factors[OR(95%CI)=1.545(1.077 to 2.215),1.597(1.120 to 2.276),1.983(1.282 to 3.067),3.039(2.131 to 4.333),0.599(0.414 to 0.868),0.724(0.508 to 0.961),0.671(0.472 to 0.954),all P<0.05].Conclusion Osteoporosis in underground coal mine workers in Tangshan City is related to age,length of service,smoking,alcohol consumption,dairy product intake,and sunlight hours,and relevant preventive measures should be taken to reduce the prevalence of osteoporosis.
