Multiple factors associated with taxi driving can increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in taxi drivers. This paper describes the results of Step On It!, which assessed CVD risk factors among New York City taxi drivers at John F. Kennedy International Airport. Drivers completed an intake questionnaire and free screenings for blood pressure, glucose and body mass index (BMI). 466 drivers participated. 9 % had random plasma glucose values >200 mg/dl. 77 % had elevated BMIs. Immigrants who lived in the US for >10 years had 2.5 times the odds (CI 1.1-5.9) of having high blood pressure compared to newer immigrants. Abnormalities documented in this study were significant, especially for immigrants with greater duration of residence in the US, and underscore the potential for elevated CVD risk in this vulnerable population, and the need to address this risk through frameworks that utilize multiple levels of intervention.
与出租车驾驶相关的多种因素会增加出租车司机患心血管疾病（CVD）的风险。本文介绍了“加速行动！”项目的结果，该项目评估了约翰·F·肯尼迪国际机场的纽约市出租车司机的心血管疾病风险因素。司机们完成了一份摄入问卷，并接受了血压、血糖和体重指数（BMI）的免费筛查。466名司机参与了调查。9%的司机随机血糖值>200mg/dl。77%的司机BMI升高。在美国居住超过10年的移民患高血压的几率是新移民的2.5倍（CI 1.1 - 5.9）。本研究记录的异常情况很显著，尤其是对于在美国居住时间较长的移民，这凸显了这一弱势群体心血管疾病风险升高的可能性，以及通过采用多层次干预框架来应对这种风险的必要性。
