OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the prevalence of cardio-cerebrovascular disease (CCVD) risk factors among male night-shift workers in South Korea, focusing on drivers and security guards, who constitute a significant portion of the older worker population. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Using data from the 2016 nationwide workers' special health examination, the authors analyzed health habits, past illnesses, and body measurements related to CCVDs among male drivers (N = 8862) and security guards (N = 7156) in their 60s. RESULTS: The age of the drivers and security guards were mean ± standard deviation 63.19±2.62 years and 64.93±2.72 years, respectively. The drivers exhibit unhealthier lifestyle habits and a higher prevalence of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and obesity compared to security guards. Additionally, drivers have unhealthier body measurement values and a higher prevalence of metabolic syndrome (OR = 1.844, 95% CI: 1.722-1.974, p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These findings underscore the heightened risk of CCVD among drivers compared to security guards among older night-shift workers in South Korea, highlighting the need for tailored health policies for this demographic.

目的:本研究调查韩国男性夜班工作者中心脑血管疾病(CCVD)危险因素的流行情况,重点关注构成老年工人群体很大一部分的司机和保安。 材料与方法:作者利用2016年全国工人特殊健康检查的数据,分析了60多岁男性司机(N = 8862)和保安(N = 7156)中与CCVD相关的健康习惯、既往疾病和身体测量数据。 结果:司机和保安的年龄分别为平均±标准差63.19±2.62岁和64.93±2.72岁。与保安相比,司机表现出更不健康的生活方式习惯,糖尿病、血脂异常和肥胖的患病率更高。此外,司机的身体测量值更不健康,代谢综合征的患病率更高(OR = 1.844,95% CI:1.722 - 1.974,p < 0.001)。 结论:这些发现强调了在韩国老年夜班工作者中,司机患CCVD的风险高于保安,突出了针对这一人群制定针对性健康政策的必要性。《国际职业医学与环境卫生杂志》。2025;38(3):296 - 308。
