Actual cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and related factors among blue collar workers employed by small businesses were investigated. This cross-sectional study of 238 Korean blue collar workers used surveys, anthropometric and blood pressure measurements, and blood sampling for lipid and glucose levels to answer the research questions. Multiple regression techniques were used to analyze study data. The prevalence of actual CVD risk among blue collar workers was 32 cases per 100 workers. A multiple regression model showed that a combination of individual, psychosocial, and work-related factors explained 34% of the variance in actual CVD risk. The significant predictors of actual CVD risk included knowledge of CVD risk, risk perception, job stress, and waist-to-hip ratio. It is important for clinicians to consider all of these significant predictors of actual CVD risk when designing an intervention program to reduce CVD among Korean blue collar workers.
本研究旨在调查小型企业雇佣的蓝领工人的实际心血管疾病（CVD）风险及相关因素。这项针对 238 名韩国蓝领工人的横断面研究采用问卷调查、人体测量和血压测量以及血脂和血糖水平的血液采样来回答研究问题。采用多元回归技术分析研究数据。每 100 名工人中就有 32 例实际 CVD 风险。多元回归模型显示，个体、心理社会和与工作相关的因素的组合解释了实际 CVD 风险的 34%。实际 CVD 风险的显著预测因子包括 CVD 风险知识、风险认知、工作压力和腰臀比。当设计干预计划以降低韩国蓝领工人的 CVD 风险时，临床医生应考虑这些实际 CVD 风险的所有显著预测因子。
