Abstract

Introduction. Cardiovascular disorders (CVDs) are among the most important diseases in the world and determination of their risk factors is essential for primary and secondary prevention. This study aimed to evaluate these risk factors in workers of tile and ceramic industry, a main industry in Yazd. Materials and Methods. In a cross-sectional study, 1075 tile and ceramic workers were selected by simple sampling method. BMI, blood pressure, FBS, and lipid profile were measured and compared to international standards. Results. 731 individuals (68%) had at least one risk factor, and 52%, 12%, 3%, and 0.7% had one, two, three, and four risk factors, respectively. The most common risk factor was abnormal BMI (49.6%); low HDL (48.4%) and high TG (14.1%) were in the second and third orders. Conclusion. This study showed a relatively high prevalence for CVD risk factors among tile and ceramic workers. Low HDL, high TG, and overweight were the most frequent risk factors in this population.

伊朗亚兹德瓷砖和陶瓷工人心血管危险因素患病率

介绍。心血管疾病(cvd)是世界上最重要的疾病之一，确定其危险因素对于一级和二级预防至关重要。本研究旨在评估亚兹德主要产业瓷砖和陶瓷工业工人的这些危险因素。材料与方法。在横断面研究中，采用简单抽样法选取1075名瓷砖和陶瓷工人。测量BMI、血压、FBS和血脂，并与国际标准进行比较。结果:731人(68%)至少有一种危险因素，52%、12%、3%和0.7%分别有一种、两种、三种和四种危险因素。最常见的危险因素是BMI异常(49.6%);低HDL(48.4%)和高TG(14.1%)排在第二和第三位。结论。本研究显示，瓷砖和陶瓷工人中心血管疾病危险因素的患病率相对较高。低高密度脂蛋白、高TG和超重是该人群中最常见的危险因素。
