To assess the association of work nature, lifestyle and obesity with health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in professional drivers.
A total of 3376 Chinese professional drivers aged 18 to 70 years were recruited to assess the HRQOL by SF-12 summary scores (Physical Component Summary [PCS]; Mental Component Summary [MCS]), and collect data for work nature, lifestyle, and body mass index. Factors associated with HRQOL were examined by multiphase regression analyses.
Professional drivers reported poorer physical and mental HRQOL than the general population. Shift work and lorry driving had significant negative effect on HRQOL. Obesity was associated with lower PCS but higher MCS.
HRQOL of professional drivers tended to be low, especially among lorry drivers and shift drivers. Health intervention programs should promote regular exercise, healthy eating, no smoking, and weight control, which are modifiable factors improving HRQOL.
评估职业司机的工作性质、生活方式和肥胖与健康相关生活质量(HRQOL)之间的关系。
共招募了 3376 名 18 至 70 岁的中国职业司机,通过 SF-12 综合评分(生理成分综合评分[PCS];心理成分综合评分[MCS])评估 HRQOL,并收集工作性质、生活方式和体重指数的数据。通过多阶段回归分析来研究与 HRQOL 相关的因素。
职业司机报告的生理和心理 HRQOL 均低于一般人群。轮班工作和卡车驾驶对 HRQOL 有显著的负面影响。肥胖与较低的 PCS 相关,但与较高的 MCS 相关。
职业司机的 HRQOL 往往较低,尤其是卡车司机和轮班司机。健康干预计划应促进定期锻炼、健康饮食、不吸烟和控制体重,这些都是改善 HRQOL 的可改变因素。
