Effects of occupational exposure to high temperature on glucose and lipid metabolism among workers in the household electrical appliances manufacturing industry
Objective To investigate the effects of occupational exposure to high temperature on glucose and lipid metabolism of household appliance manufacturing workers,providing a theoretical basis for the prevention and treatment of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism in occupational-exposed populations to high temperature.Methods A total of 1 200 workers from household electrical appliances manufacturing industry who underwent occupational health examination in a hospital were selected as the research subjects,and divided into occupational high temperature exposure and control groups using the judgment sampling method,including 963 in the exposure group and 237 in the control group.The glucose and lipid metabolism in the two groups were detected and analyzed.Results The detection results of fasting blood glucose,total cholesterol,triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein in the exposed group were(6.87±1.25)mmol/L,(6.48±1.18)mmol/L,(1.52±0.46)mmol/L and(3.54±0.67)mmol/L,respectively,which were higher than those in the non exposed group,with(5.67±1.17)mmol/L,(5.15±1.06)mmol/L,(1.36±0.38)mmol/L and(3.32±0.76)mmol/L,respectively,and the difference was statistically significant(t=4.25,8.64,3.84,2.43,P＜0.05);There was a statistically significant difference in the abnormal rate of glucose and lipid metabolism among workers exposed to high temperature at different stages of service(x2=8.144,P＜0.05),while there was no statistically significant difference in different working years among workers in the non exposed group(x2=0.341,P＞0.05);logistic multiple factor regression analysis showed that gender,age,alcohol consumption,and high temperature exposure were the influencing factors for abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism(x2=20.563,9.349,31.452,58.209,26.421,P＜0.05).The risk of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism in males was 2.316 times higher than that in females,and alcohol consumption was 2.748 times higher than that of non-alcohol consumption.For each age group increased,the risk of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism increased by 1.585 times.The risk of abnormal glucose and lipid metabolism in workers exposed to high temperature is 2.816 times higher than that of non-exposed workers.Conclusion Occupational exposure to high temperature affects human glucose and lipid metabolism.The main influencing factors are gender,age,drinking,and working duration.
