Abstract

Objective: Despite generating huge employment opportunities and profitable business, fishing is considered a dangerous occupation due to challenging weather conditions and exposure to unhealthy occupational factors and lifestyles, which contribute to various health issues. However, few studies have examined the health status of shrimp cultivators. Consequently, this study aims to estimate the age group-wise burden of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) among shrimp cultivators.

Methods: Simple random sampling was employed for collecting data. The sample size was 357 shrimp cultivators. Disability-adjusted life years (DALY) and relative risk (RR) methods were used to measure the burden of NCDs among shrimp cultivators. This study reported the burden of NCDs per 100,000 shrimp cultivators.

Results: The top five prevalence of NCDs per 100,000 shrimp cultivators were mental disorders (85,434), musculoskeletal diseases (26,325), digestive diseases (9,803), diabetes (5,882), and cardiovascular diseases (4,481). DALY per 100,000 shrimp cultivators was 33,407.59, while at the national level, it was 24,775.99 per 100,000 people across all age groups. The RR of NCDs among shrimp cultivators in terms of DALY was 1.35, indicating a 0.35 times higher burden of NCDs among shrimp cultivators than at the national level. The largest RR of NCDs was found among shrimp cultivators aged 15-49 years (1.85), followed by 50-69 years (1.09). The highest percentage changes in the burden of NCDs among shrimp cultivators, resulting from changes in the methods of estimating DALY, was observed in the age group of 70 years and above (-48.36%) followed by 15-49 years (-46.08%) and 50-69 years (-40.33%) when compared to the baseline method of estimating DALY without utilizing age weightage and discount rate.

Conclusions: Focus should be given to improving the lifestyle and occupational factors of shrimp cultivators to mitigate the burden of NCDs.

印度虾养殖者非传染性疾病的年龄组负担：残疾调整生命年回顾分析法》。

目的：尽管渔业创造了巨大的就业机会和有利可图的业务，但由于具有挑战性的天气条件和暴露于不健康的职业因素和生活方式，渔业被认为是一种危险的职业，这导致了各种健康问题。然而，很少有研究调查对虾养殖者的健康状况。因此，本研究旨在估算各年龄组对虾养殖者非传染性疾病（NCDs）的负担：方法：采用简单随机抽样收集数据。样本量为 357 名虾养殖者。采用残疾调整生命年（DALY）和相对风险（RR）方法来衡量养虾者的非传染性疾病负担。本研究报告了每 10 万养虾户的非传染性疾病负担：结果：每 10 万对虾养殖者的非传染性疾病发病率前五位分别是精神障碍（85,434 例）、肌肉骨骼疾病（26,325 例）、消化系统疾病（9,803 例）、糖尿病（5,882 例）和心血管疾病（4,481 例）。每 100,000 名虾养殖者的残疾调整寿命年数为 33,407.59 年，而在全国范围内，各年龄组每 100,000 人的残疾调整寿命年数为 24,775.99 年。养虾者患非传染性疾病的死亡率为 1.35，表明养虾者患非传染性疾病的负担是全国水平的 0.35 倍。年龄在 15-49 岁的对虾养殖者的非传染性疾病死亡率最大（1.85），其次是 50-69 岁（1.09）。与不使用年龄加权和贴现率的 DALY 估算基线方法相比，70 岁及以上年龄组的非传染性疾病负担变化百分比最高（-48.36%），其次是 15-49 岁（-46.08%）和 50-69 岁（-40.33%）：应重点改善对虾养殖者的生活方式和职业因素，以减轻非传染性疾病的负担。
