Objective To evaluate health status of university support staff in Wuhan via presenting test results of 5 blood biochemical indices.
Methods A total of 831 support staff (365 males and 466 females) in the selected university were enrolled. Venous blood samples after fasts were collected for biochemical tests (blood glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, alanine transaminase, and creatinine). The test results were analyzed by statistical software SPSS 11.0.
Results Among the examined support staff, the average of fasting plasma glucose, cholesterol, triglyceride, activity of alanine aminotransferase, and creatinine were (5.44& #177;0.95)mmol/L, (4.75& #177;0.92)mmol/L, (1.08& #177;0.91)mmol/L, (19.30& #177;13.53)U/L, and (70.33& #177;14.01)μmol/L, respectively; and the detection rates of hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, high triglyceride, high alanine aminotransferase activity, and high creatinine were 5.90%, 3.61%, 12.64%, 6.26%, and 1.69%, respectively.
Conclusion The blood biochemical abnormalities suggest attentions to improve health education and health promotion in university support staff.
