OBJECTIVE
Describe health conditions and injury and illness rates in a population of United States mariners, an understudied workforce vital to economic security.
METHODS
In this survey study, mariner health data was collected and analyzed to provide injury and illness rates (including mental health conditions) and associated risk factors.
RESULTS
In this mariner population of highly tenured vessel masters and pilots, hypertension, obesity, sleep disorders, smoking, alcohol consumption, and symptoms of depression and anxiety were common. BMI ≥35 was associated with increased likelihood of work injury (OR 5.7; 95%CI 1.01, 32.59).
CONCLUSIONS
The mariners were in poor overall health, raising public health and safety concerns in this population of essential transportation workers. Follow-up studies including a wider distribution of domestic mariners (deck hands, engineers) would further characterize occupational risks.
目的
描述美国海员这一未充分研究的劳动力群体的健康状况和伤害及疾病发生率，他们对经济安全至关重要。
方法
在这项调查研究中，收集和分析了海员健康数据，以提供伤害和疾病发生率（包括心理健康状况）以及相关的风险因素。
结果
在这艘船的船长和驾驶员中，高血压、肥胖、睡眠障碍、吸烟、饮酒以及抑郁和焦虑症状较为常见。BMI≥35 与工作伤害的可能性增加相关（OR 5.7；95%CI 1.01，32.59）。
结论
海员的整体健康状况不佳，这引起了人们对这一重要运输工人群体的公共卫生和安全的关注。包括更广泛分布的国内海员（甲板水手、工程师）在内的后续研究将进一步描述职业风险。
