The aim of this study was to investigate the contribution of actual cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks, psychosocial and work-related factors as predictors of health behavior. A sample of 234 Korean blue-collar workers, who worked in small companies, was included in this cross-sectional study. Data collection included a survey; anthropometric and blood pressure measures; and blood sampling. Multiple regression analyses showed that the model explained 30% of the variance in health behavior of blue-collar workers. The significant predictors for health behavior included education level, perceived general health, greater family function, higher social support, decision latitude, and non-shift work. Future research should focus on incorporating these significant predictors into effective behavioral interventions designed to promote cardiovascular health in this population.
本研究的目的是调查实际心血管疾病（CVD）风险、心理社会因素和工作相关因素作为健康行为预测指标的作用。本横断面研究纳入了234名在小公司工作的韩国蓝领工人样本。数据收集包括一项调查、人体测量和血压测量以及血液采样。多元回归分析表明，该模型解释了蓝领工人健康行为中30%的方差。健康行为的显著预测指标包括教育水平、感知到的总体健康状况、更好的家庭功能、更高的社会支持、决策自由度和非轮班工作。未来的研究应侧重于将这些显著预测指标纳入旨在促进该人群心血管健康的有效行为干预措施中。
