Abstract:

To analyze the prevalent rate of prehypertension and its influential factors for railway workers. MethodsCluster sampling was used to select 12?094 health physical examination results among railway workers. Single factor analysis and multivariate logistic analysis were used. ResultsThe prevalent rate of prehypertension among railway was 47.2%, which was significantly different in different age and gender groups. Single factor analysis showed that smoking, alcohol, FPG, high TG, and high BMI were risk factors of prehypertension. Multivariateregression analysis showed that gender, age, smoking, alcohol, FPG abnormality, high TG and high BMI were risk factors of prehypertension. ConclusionThe prevalent rate of prehypertension is at a high level and prevention and treatment of hypertension among railway workers should be strengthened.
