目的:工作场所的噪声暴露与许多健康后果有关。我们的目标是探索职业噪声与脂质代谢之间的关系,并通过横断面研究设计评估肥胖指数在这些关系中的可能中介作用。
方法:使用累积噪声暴露(CNE)来测量噪声暴露水平。采用Logistic回归模型或广义线性模型评估职业性噪声和肥胖与脂质代谢指标的相关性。进行了交叉滞后分析,以探讨肥胖与脂质代谢的时间关联。
结果:共纳入854名参与者,随着CNE每增加一个单位,总胆固醇/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇/高密度脂蛋白胆固醇分别增加0.013(95%置信区间:0.006,0.020)和0.009(0.004,0.014),以及血脂异常的患病率增加了1.030(1.013,1.048)。职业噪声和脂质代谢指标均与体重指数(BMI)呈正相关,腰围(WC),身体形态指数(ABSI)和身体形态指数和身体圆度指数(BRI)(均P<0.05)。此外,BMI,WC,ABSI和BRI可以介导职业噪声与脂质代谢的关联;比例范围为21.51%至24.45%。23.84至30.14%,4.86至5.94%和25.59至28.23%,(均P<0.05)。
结论:我们的研究表明,职业噪音和异常脂质代谢之间存在正相关,肥胖可能部分介导了这种联系。我们的发现强调了采取实际步骤减少甚至消除与职业噪声相关的健康风险的必要性。
OBJECTIVE: Noise exposure in the workplace has been linked to a number of health consequences. Our objectives were to explore the relationship between occupational noise and lipid metabolism and evaluate the possible mediating effect of obesity indices in those relationships with a cross-sectional study design.
METHODS: Cumulative noise exposure (CNE) was used to measure the level of noise exposure. Logistic regression models or generalized linear models were employed to evaluate the association of occupational noise and obesity with lipid metabolism markers. Cross-lagged analysis was conducted to explore temporal associations of obesity with lipid metabolism.
RESULTS: A total of 854 participants were included, with each one-unit increase in CNE, the values of total cholesterol/high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol and low-density
lipoprotein cholesterol/high-density
lipoprotein cholesterol increased by 0.013 (95% confidence interval: 0.006, 0.020) and 0.009 (0.004, 0.014), as well as the prevalence of
dyslipidemia increased by 1.030 (1.013, 1.048). Occupational noise and lipid metabolism markers were all positively associated with body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), a Body Shape Index (ABSI) and a Body Shape Index and Body Roundness Index (BRI) (all P < 0.05). Moreover, BMI, WC, ABSI and BRI could mediate the associations of occupational noise with lipid metabolism; the proportions ranged from 21.51 to 24.45%, 23.84 to 30.14%, 4.86 to 5.94% and 25.59 to 28.23%, respectively (all P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Our study demonstrates a positive association between occupational noise and abnormal lipid metabolism, and obesity may partly mediate the association. Our findings reinforce the need to take practical steps to reduce or even eliminate the health risks associated with occupational noise.
