Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to explore the relationship between occupational noise exposure and renal dysfunction in male workers.

Methods: A total of 160 male workers (the number of people who met the inclusion criteria) who underwent health examinations in Qingdao Municipal Hospital from January 2023 to December 2023 were grouped into a noise group (80 cases) and a control group (80 cases) based on whether they engaged in noise work. We compared the differences in creatinine (CREA), cystatin C (CysC) and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels between the two groups. We also compared the differences in the above renal function indicators among workers with different working years in the noise group, as well as observed the relationship between renal dysfunction and noise exposure.

Results: The levels of BUN, CREA and CysC in the noise group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05). The overall abnormal rate of renal function in the noise group (42.50%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (11.25%, P < 0.05). The levels of BUN, CREA and CysC all significantly increased with the increase in working years (P < 0.05). The noise exposure intensity and cumulative noise exposure (CNE) of the group with renal dysfunction were higher than those of the group with normal renal function (P < 0.05). The area under the curve was 0.811 (95% confidence interval: 0.714-0.908), the optimal cut-off value of CNE was 96.53 dB (A) · year, the sensitivity was 89.29%, the specificity was 83.32% and the Youden index was 72.61%.

Conclusion: There may be a correlation between long-term noise exposure and renal function. The intensity of noise exposure and CNE may have a certain correlation with renal function damage in occupational noise-exposed workers.

职业性噪声暴露与男性工人肾功能障碍的相关性研究。
目的:探讨职业性噪声暴露与男性工人肾功能障碍的关系。方法:选取2023年1月至2023年12月在青岛市市属医院进行健康检查的男性职工160例(符合纳入标准的人数),根据是否从事噪声工作分为噪声组(80例)和对照组(80例)。比较两组患者肌酐(CREA)、胱抑素C (CysC)和尿素氮(BUN)水平的差异。我们还比较了噪声组不同工龄工人以上肾功能指标的差异,并观察了肾功能与噪声暴露的关系。结果:噪声组BUN、CREA、CysC水平显著高于对照组(P < 0.05)。噪声组整体肾功能异常率(42.50%)显著高于对照组(11.25%),P < 0.05。BUN、CREA、CysC水平均随工作年限的增加而显著升高(P < 0.05)。肾功能不全组噪声暴露强度和累积噪声暴露(CNE)均高于肾功能正常组(P < 0.05)。曲线下面积为0.811(95%可信区间为0.714 ~ 0.908),CNE的最佳临界值为96.53 dB (A)·年,敏感性为89.29%,特异性为83.32%,约登指数为72.61%。结论:长期噪声暴露与肾功能可能存在相关性。噪声暴露强度和CNE可能与职业性噪声暴露工人的肾功能损害有一定的相关性。

期刊介绍: Noise and Health is the only International Journal devoted to research on all aspects of noise and its effects on human health. An inter-disciplinary journal for all professions concerned with auditory and non-auditory effects of occupational, environmental, and leisure noise. It aims to provide a forum for presentation of novel research material on a broad range of topics associated with noise pollution, its control and its detrimental effects on hearing and health. It will cover issues from basic experimental science through clinical evaluation and management, technical aspects of noise reduction systems and solutions to environmental issues relating to social and public health policy.
