Objective To explore the association of drilling workers' body mass index (BMI) with blood pressure, blood lipids, alanine aminotransferase (ALT), and level of fatty liver, in order to provide a theoretical basis to improve workers' health by changing their bad habits.
Methods A total of 927 drilling workers in Shengli Oilfield were enrolled. Based on their medical examination data, the participants were categorized into three groups each by their age, length of service, and BMI, in comparison of blood pressure, serum ALT, cholesterol, and prevalence of fatty liver.
Results The prevalence of overweight, obesity, high blood pressure, abnormal ATL, dyslipidemia, and fatty liver of drilling workers examined were 39.27%, 18.66%, 30.85%, 9.28%, 39.59%, and 37.65% respectively. The last four indicators were significantly increased with age, length of service, and BMI.
Conclusion Among the drilling workers in Shengli Oilfield, hypertension, hyperlipaemia, serum, elevated aminotransferases, and the prevalence of fatty liver all increased with age, length of service, and BMI, and the prevalence in overweight and obese groups were significantly higher than that in normal BMI group.
