Abstract

Introduction: This study examined and compared the association between body mass index (BMI) and BMI with waist circumference (WC) on lifestyle measure and health outcomes in Canadian long-haul truck drivers (LHTDs).

Methods: Two hundred LHTDs completed a survey on diet and physical activity, and participated in objective measures of height, weight, WC, and blood pressure.

Results: More than half of the sample was classified as obese (57%). Body mass index risk was significantly associated with poorer health ( P < 0.05), increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure, increased body fat ( P < 0.001), and sleep apnea ( P < 001). When BMI + WC was used, additional significant associations were observed with age, years of experience, eating breakfast, and hypertension and malignancy.

Conclusion: Body mass index + WC is a more sensitive measure in assessing cardiometabolic risk in LHTDs than using BMI alone.

长途卡车司机的身体质量指数和腰围与生活方式和健康的关系

简介:本研究调查并比较了加拿大长途卡车司机(LHTDs)的体重指数(BMI)和体重指数与腰围(WC)在生活方式测量和健康结果方面的关系。方法:200名肥胖患者完成了饮食和体力活动调查，并参与了身高、体重、腰围和血压的客观测量。结果:超过一半的样本被归类为肥胖(57%)。体重指数风险与健康状况较差(P < 0.05)、收缩压和舒张压升高、体脂增加(P < 0.001)和睡眠呼吸暂停(P < 001)显著相关。当使用BMI + WC时，观察到年龄、经验年限、吃早餐以及高血压和恶性肿瘤之间存在额外的显著关联。结论:体重指数+ WC是评估LHTDs心脏代谢风险比单独使用BMI更敏感的指标。
