Abstract：
UNASSIGNED: To find out the impact of occupational and socio-demographic factors on the health related quality of life of sewerage and sanitary workers in Karachi.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-sectional study was conducted during 2019. Four hundred workers were chosen from five districts of Karachi using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. An Urdu version of WHO BRIEF quality of life questionnaire was used to collect the data about workers general health status and quality of life. Descriptive analysis was done and Chi-square test was used for the association of socio-demographic factors and quality of life. Multiple regression model was used to predict QOL of all domains. P-value<0.05 was considered as statistically significant.
UNASSIGNED: Out of 400 sanitary workers, 228 (57.0%) were sweepers and the rest 172 (43.0) were sewerage workers. The majority of the workers 321 (80.3%) were male and 246 (61.5%) were illiterate. The vast majority of the workers 386 (96.5%) were not immunized against typhoid, / hepatitis and tetanus. Ninety-one percent (91%) were not using any kind of safety gadgets while at work. Male workers, married workers of both sexes and those with some education had a little better quality of life than their counterparts. Sanitary employees likewise had a higher quality of life score than sewage workers (P-value<0.05).
UNASSIGNED: The majority of workers, particularly sewage workers, have a very poor quality of life. Along with very bad working circumstances, their standard of living is significantly below par. They were not given any safety equipment. They were handling untreated sewage/waste with their bare hands, and they have never received a typhoid/hepatitis /tetanus vaccine.

摘要：
UNASSIGNED：了解职业和社会人口因素对卡拉奇下水道和卫生工作者健康相关生活质量的影响。
未经评估：在2019年进行了一项横断面研究。使用非概率便捷采样技术从卡拉奇的五个地区选出了400名工人。使用乌尔都语版本的WHO简短生活质量问卷来收集有关工人总体健康状况和生活质量的数据。对社会人口统计学因素和生活质量的关联进行描述性分析和卡方检验。多元回归模型用于预测所有领域的QOL。P值<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
未经授权：在400名卫生工作者中，228名（57.0％）是清扫工，其余172名（43.0）是污水处理工人。大多数工人321（80.3％）是男性，246（61.5％）是文盲。386名工人中绝大多数(96.5%)没有接种伤寒疫苗,/肝炎和破伤风。91％（91％）的人在工作时没有使用任何类型的安全小工具。男性工人,已婚男女和受过一定教育的工人的生活质量比他们的同龄人好一些。卫生工作者的生活质量评分也高于排污工人（P值<0.05）。
未经批准：大多数工人，特别是污水处理工人，生活质量很差。加上非常糟糕的工作环境，他们的生活水平大大低于标准。他们没有得到任何安全设备。他们徒手处理未经处理的污水/废物，他们从未接种过伤寒/肝炎/破伤风疫苗。
