We assessed the cross-sectional relationships of self-reported current occupational exposures to solvents, metals, and pesticides with metabolic syndrome and its components among 7127 participants in the Hispanic Community Health Study/Study of Latinos.
Metabolic syndrome was defined as a clustering of abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high blood pressure, and/or high fasting glucose. Regression models that incorporated inverse probability of exposure weighting were used to estimate prevalence ratios.
Solvent exposure was associated with a 32% higher prevalence of high blood pressure (95% confidence interval: 1.09 to 1.60) than participants not reporting exposure. No associations were observed for occupational exposures with abdominal obesity, high triglycerides, low high-density lipoprotein, or metabolic syndrome.
Our findings suggest that solvent exposure may be an important occupational risk factor for high blood pressure among Hispanics/Latinos in the United States.
我们评估了 7127 名西班牙裔社区健康研究/拉丁裔研究参与者中报告的当前职业暴露于溶剂、金属和农药与代谢综合征及其成分的横断面关系。
代谢综合征的定义为腹部肥胖、高甘油三酯、低高密度脂蛋白胆固醇、高血压和/或高空腹血糖的聚集。采用纳入暴露反概率加权的回归模型来估计患病率比。
与未报告暴露的参与者相比,溶剂暴露与高血压的患病率高出 32%(95%置信区间:1.09 至 1.60)。职业暴露与腹部肥胖、高甘油三酯、低高密度脂蛋白或代谢综合征之间没有关联。
我们的研究结果表明,在美国的西班牙裔/拉丁裔人群中,溶剂暴露可能是高血压的一个重要职业危险因素。
