To verify whether the occupational hazards in the rotogravure industry can be associated with cardiovascular effects.
We evaluated cardiovascular parameters and audiometric tests and analyzed noise, solvents, and shift work in 44 exposed and 44 unexposed workers.
Unlike unexposed workers, the rotogravure workers showed significant increase of mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP) values (P = 0.019; P = 0.003), higher frequency of hypertension (P = 0.002) and electrocardiographic abnormalities (P = 0.0001), significant reduction or no variation of BP response to orthostatism (P = 0.0001), and association between high levels of noise and diastolic blood pressure (P = 0.0067). Subjects with hearing loss showed high frequency of hypertension and a reduction or no variation of BP response to orthostatism (both P = 0.05).
Data obtained suggest that these are the effects on the cardiovascular system of rotogravure workers who are exposed to noise.
验证凹版印刷行业的职业危害是否与心血管效应有关。
我们评估了心血管参数和听力测试,并分析了 44 名暴露于和 44 名未暴露于噪声、溶剂和轮班工作的工人的噪声、溶剂和轮班工作。
与未暴露的工人相比,凹版印刷工人的平均收缩压和舒张压(BP)值显著升高(P = 0.019;P = 0.003),高血压(P = 0.002)和心电图异常(P = 0.0001)的发生率更高,BP 对直立位反应的显著降低或无变化(P = 0.0001),以及噪声水平与舒张压之间的关联(P = 0.0067)。听力损失的受试者高血压发生率较高,BP 对直立位反应的降低或无变化(均为 P = 0.05)。
所得数据表明,这些是暴露于噪声的凹版印刷工人心血管系统的影响。
