Little is known about the health-related quality of life of former lead workers. Using the Short-Form 36 Questionnaire (SF-36), a cross-section design study evaluated the health-related quality of life of 186 former workers of a lead smelter that operated in Santo Amaro da Purificação, Brazil, from 1960 to 1993, when it closed down. The smelter had very poor occupational and environmental hygiene standards. The health-related quality of life of former lead workers was low, compared to population-based and other nosological groups from Brazil. Former lead workers who indicated metal poisoning, difficulty getting another job and who could not get another job after dismissal by the smelter presented poorer health-related quality of life. Former lead workers with poor health-related quality of life form part of the huge occupational liability left by the Santo Amaro lead smelter.
对于曾经从事铅作业的工人与健康相关的生活质量,我们所知甚少。一项采用简短健康调查问卷(SF - 36)的横断面设计研究,对186名曾在巴西圣阿马罗 - 达普里菲卡ção运营的铅冶炼厂工作的工人的与健康相关的生活质量进行了评估。该冶炼厂从1960年运营至1993年关闭,其职业和环境卫生标准极低。与巴西基于人群的其他疾病群体相比,曾经从事铅作业的工人与健康相关的生活质量较低。那些表示有金属中毒情况、难以找到其他工作以及在被冶炼厂解雇后无法找到其他工作的曾经从事铅作业的工人,其与健康相关的生活质量更差。与健康相关生活质量较差的曾经从事铅作业的工人,是圣阿马罗铅冶炼厂遗留的巨大职业责任的一部分。
