AIM
To evaluate the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers among municipal solid waste workers (MSWWs) in Keratsini (Greece).
METHODS
We assessed in a cross-sectional study the prevalence of biological markers of HBV infection (HbsAg, anti-Hbc, anti-Hbs) and their association with exposure to waste and other socio-demographic factors in 166 municipal employees in Keratsini (Greece).
RESULTS
The prevalence of anti-Hbc (+) did differ significantly between exposed and non-exposed employees to waste. Older employees had a significantly higher prevalence of anti-Hbc (+). MSWWs who were anti-Hbc (+) were less educated than non-exposed employees. Logistic regression analysis has shown that the exposure to waste and age were independently associated with the anti-Hbc positivity.
CONCLUSION
Occupational exposure to waste is possibly associated with the acquisition of HBV infection. Immunization of MSWWs should be considered to reduce the risk of HBV infection.
目的
评估希腊凯拉齐尼市城市固体废弃物处理工人（MSWWs）中乙肝病毒（HBV）标志物的流行情况。
方法
在一项横断面研究中，我们评估了希腊凯拉齐尼市166名市政雇员中HBV感染生物学标志物（乙肝表面抗原、乙肝核心抗体、乙肝表面抗体）的流行情况，以及它们与接触废弃物及其他社会人口统计学因素之间的关联。
结果
接触废弃物和未接触废弃物的雇员中，乙肝核心抗体阳性（anti-Hbc(+)）的流行率存在显著差异。年龄较大的雇员中乙肝核心抗体阳性（anti-Hbc(+)）的流行率显著更高。乙肝核心抗体阳性（anti-Hbc(+)）的城市固体废弃物处理工人受教育程度低于未接触废弃物的雇员。逻辑回归分析表明，接触废弃物和年龄与乙肝核心抗体阳性独立相关。
结论
职业性接触废弃物可能与感染HBV有关。应考虑对城市固体废弃物处理工人进行免疫接种，以降低HBV感染风险。
