Abstract

Background: Indonesia, with its expansive territorial waters, hosts numerous fishing communities residing on various islands. Many of these communities rely on diving activities, predominantly free diving without standardized safety equipment. This practice poses risks, including the potential for hypoxia-induced oxidative stress, which plays a role in disease pathogenesis. This study aimed to investigate the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in freediving fishermen and explore potential influencing factors.

Materials and methods: The research involved 30 freediving fishermen, aged 20-60, who engaged in diving at least twice weekly over the last 3 months. Blood plasma MDA levels were assessed using the Will method.

Results: Results revealed a median age of 40.5 years (range: 20-59), a body mass index of 23.1 ± 2.8, and a mean blood pressure of 132/85 mmHg. A significant portion of the subjects exhibited smoking habits (90%) and alcohol consumption (76.7%). The median MDA level among subjects was measured at 0.42 nmol/mL (range: 0.34-0.70). However, no discernible relationship was found between smoking habits, alcohol consumption, and MDA level categories, as determined by the Fisher exact test (p > 0.05).

Conclusions: While these findings shed light on the MDA levels in freediving fishermen, further research is warranted to explore additional factors that may influence these levels. This comprehensive understanding is crucial for addressing the health risks associated with free diving practices in this unique population.

评估马鲁古东南部地区自由潜水渔民的血浆丙二醛水平:探讨氧化应激的影响因素。
背景:印度尼西亚拥有广阔的领海,许多岛屿上居住着众多渔业社区。其中许多社区依赖潜水活动,主要是在没有标准化安全设备的情况下自由潜水。这种做法会带来风险,包括缺氧诱发氧化应激的可能性,而氧化应激在疾病的发病机制中扮演着重要角色。本研究旨在调查自由潜水渔民体内丙二醛(MDA)的水平,并探讨潜在的影响因素:研究涉及 30 名自由潜水渔民,年龄在 20-60 岁之间,在过去 3 个月中每周至少潜水两次。采用 Will 法评估血浆 MDA 水平:结果显示,受试者的中位年龄为 40.5 岁(范围:20-59 岁),体重指数为 23.1 ± 2.8,平均血压为 132/85 mmHg。相当一部分受试者有吸烟习惯(90%)和饮酒习惯(76.7%)。受试者的 MDA 水平中位数为 0.42 nmol/mL(范围:0.34-0.70)。然而,经费雪精确检验(P > 0.05),在吸烟习惯、饮酒量和 MDA 水平类别之间没有发现明显的关系:尽管这些研究结果揭示了自由潜水渔民的 MDA 水平,但仍需进一步研究探讨可能影响这些水平的其他因素。这种全面的了解对于解决这一特殊群体中与自由潜水做法相关的健康风险至关重要。
