There has been an increasing prevalence of hypertension (HTN) affecting all populations of the world including the special occupational groups and industries workers.
To estimate the prevalence of hypertension and to determine the associated factors among industrial workers in the Haryana state of India.
A cross-sectional study was conducted among 323 industrial workers of Faridabad, Haryana.
A semi-structured and validated questionnaire was used to collect information regarding sociodemographic characteristics of the workers, their personal habits, and occupational history. The investigator also recorded the height, weight, blood pressure, blood glucose, and lipid profile of the workers.
Analysis of the data was done using SPSS Vs 21.
The prevalence of hypertension among industrial workers was 48.6%. Age of the worker, presence of smoking or alcohol consumption, having a longer duration of employment, and having deranged total cholesterol/TG/LDL-C levels, diabetes, or obesity were found to be independently associated with hypertension.
Screening is required for early detection and prevention of complications. Lifestyle modification is of utmost importance. Employers should implement guidelines issued by the government to protect the health of the productive population.
