Objective: By conducting an investigation into the epidemiological conditions of overweight, obesity and "three highs" (Hypertension, Hyperglycemia, Hyperlipidemia) among the company's employees, a theoretical basis is provided for carrying out health education for employees. Methods: A total of 1,946 employees of a certain company in Wuhu were selected as the research subjects. Their height, body weight, blood pressure, blood sugar and blood lipid were measured in 2014, and the obtained data were statistically analyzed. Results: The detection rates of overweight, obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in the research subjects were 40.80%, 9.20%, 30.83%, 20.45% and 35.46% respectively. Among them, the detection rates of male employees' overweight, obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia were all higher than those of female employees', and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.05). The comparison of the detection rates of obesity, hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia among the research subjects aged < 30 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years and aged ≥60 years showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Moreover, with the increase of age, the detection rates of hypertension and hyperglycemia in the research subjects showed an upward trend. The comparison of the detection rates of hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia among the research subjects with underweight, normal, overweight and obesity body mass index (BMI) showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). Moreover, with the change of BMI (from emaciation to obesity), the detection rates of hypertension, hyperglycemia and hyperlipidemia in the research subjects all showed an upward trend. Conclusion: The research subjects have prominent symptoms of overweight, obesity and "three highs", and there is an urgent need to carry out health education for them, including healthy diet, moderate exercise and regular physical examination.
Objective To perform a survey on the current prevalence of hypertension in company employees, so as to improve the awareness rate, treatment rate, and control rate of hypertension, and also to provide theoretical basis for health promotion for all employees. Methods A total of 1762 employees from a company in Wuhu participated in this study. Parameters including height, body mass, blood pressure, blood lipid, blood glucose, and uric acid were measured. Data were collected and statistically analyzed. Results Among the 1762 employees, 629 had hypertension with an overall prevalence rate of 35.70%. The prevalence of hypertension was significantly higher in males than that in females (39.43% vs. 29.17%, P<0.05). And the prevalence rate of hypertension increased with age in both genders. The overall awareness rate, treatment rate, and control rate of hypertension were 69.95%, 56.44% and 29.73%, respectively; these rate were generally lower in males (69.46%, 53.17% and 28.73%) compared with those in females (71.12%, 64.17% and 32.09%), and the difference in treatment rate was statistically significant between males and females (P<0.05). Based on the diagnostic criteria of hypertension, participants were divided into the hypertension group (n=629) and the normotension group (n=1133). The mean age, SBP, DBP, heart rate, body mass index, rate of alcohol use, as well as the detection rates of hypercholesterolemia, hypertriglyceridemia, hyperglycemia, and hyperuricemia in the hypertension group were significantly higher than those in the normotension group (all P<0.05). Conclusion The prevalence rate of hypertension is high, and the awareness rate, treatment rate, and control rate of hypertension are generally low in company employees. It is important to strengthen health education and health knowledge promotion among employees, raise their awareness of hypertension prevention and treatment, and urge them to change their unhealthy eating habit and lifestyle, which may contribute to health promotion for all.
目的 分析芜湖发电有限责任公司(简称芜电)职工高血压病的流行现状及其主要危险因素.方法 2015年7—8月在全厂范围内开展高血压病知识的问卷调查,收到有效问卷调查表314份,收集高血压病相关资料并进行统计分析.结果 职工高血压患病率为26.8%.高血压患病率随着年龄的增长而增加,差异有统计学意义(P<0.01).多因素Logistic回归分析显示,年龄、吸烟、饮酒、打鼾、高血压病家族史、BMI、腰围、合并冠心病、脑卒中、高血糖、高TC、高TG、高LDL-C、低HDL-C及高尿酸是职工患高血压病的独立危险因素.文化程度高、睡眠时间长是保护因素.结论 芜电职工高血压患病率较高,应加强高血压病知识的健康教育,提倡以戒烟、戒酒、低盐低脂饮食和减轻体重为目标的健康的生活方式.
