The aim of this paper is to identify the factors that determine the environmental domain of quality of life in economically active adults living in the industrial agglomeration in Poland.
During the cross-sectional epidemiological study conducted among the economically active population aged 45-60, we used a short version of the WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire. Respondents were recruited randomly from selected factories located in the Silesian Agglomeration. The statistical analysis used descriptive and analytical methods available in the Statistica 9.0 software.
The results confirmed the statistically significant association between marital status, type of occupational activity, declared health status, and the environmental domain of quality of life in economically active inhabitants of the Silesian Agglomeration. The best qualities of life in the environmental domain were those of married people, white collars, and persons who declared their health status to be the best.
The major determinants of environmental quality of life in economically active population living in the industrial agglomeration include non-occupational factors, such as marital status and current health status, while a significantly better quality of life was associated with being a white-collar worker and not living in the vicinity of the road with heavy traffic. The results may be useful for future planned activities intended to improve the health and the quality of working life.
本文旨在确定决定波兰经济活跃成年人生活环境质量的因素。
在对 45-60 岁经济活跃人群进行的横断面流行病学研究中，我们使用了 WHOQOL-BREF 问卷的简短版本。受访者是从位于西里西亚城市群的选定工厂中随机招募的。统计分析使用了 Statistica 9.0 软件中提供的描述性和分析性方法。
结果证实了婚姻状况、职业活动类型、申报的健康状况与西里西亚城市群经济活跃居民生活环境质量之间存在统计学上的显著关联。在环境领域生活质量最好的是已婚人士、白领和自认为健康状况最好的人。
在工业城市群中生活的经济活跃人群的环境生活质量的主要决定因素包括非职业因素，如婚姻状况和当前的健康状况，而更好的生活质量与白领和不居住在交通繁忙的道路附近有关。这些结果可能对未来旨在改善健康和工作生活质量的计划活动有用。
