This study was designed to identify the general health conditions and high risk factors of the male & female environmental workers. Thereby, the results of this study were to provide useful data as a contribution to knowledge for health protection and promotion.
The data used for this study were environmental workers´ physical examination cards; the male environmental workers were 52 persons, and the female environmental workers 52 persons. The data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson correlation, and distinction analysis, using the SPSS program.
The results of this study can be summarized as follows;
1. Thers was a significant statistical difference between the two groups as to height, eyesight, serum GPT, hematocrit. The variables having little difference between two groups were weight, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, creatinine.
2. The rate of revealed in significant health examination was extra-health discrimination rate 28.8%, significant result of illness rate 12.5%, injury-inflicting rate 7%, second-time urine test 5.7%, antigen positive 3.8%, hearing impairment 2.8%, urine protein positive 1.9%, and urine sugar positive 1.9%.
3. The workers diagnosed as extra-health discrimination were 30 persons or 28.8%. There was a difference between two groups on the prevalence. In the male environmental workers, ten times live problems and six times pulmonary tuberculosis and three times circulatory problems were revealed the higher than thoes of the female environmental workers.
4. In the male environmental workers, the relationship between age and systolic blood pressure revealed a significant correlation (r=0.22, p<0.05).
In the female environmental workers, there was a negative correlation between age and weight (r =0.25, p<0.05), the relationship between age and total cholesterol correlated positively(r=0.30, p<0.05).
5. In the male environmental workers, there was a negative correlation between working career and creatinine (r=-0.22, p<0.05)
In the female environmental workers, there was a positive correlation between working career and total cholesterol (r=0.58, p<0.01).
6. There were significant differences on working career and creatinine according to the male and female environmental workers who had any problems through x-ray inspection.
7. There were significant differences on height, eyesight, serum GPT according to the male and female environmental workers who were diagnosed as extra-health discrimination.
8. The female environmental workers who were diagnosed as ´care´ were positively correlated with weight (r=0.26, p<0.05), and systolic blood pressure (r=0.30, p<0.05). on the other hand, the left and right eyesight correlated negatively (r=-0.15, r=-0.33, p<0.01).
9. The most influential variables on the male and female environmental workers´ health condition were working career, height, and weight. And these three variables could help determine the two groups at the level of 81.8 percentage.
