Objective:
To determine the prevalence of anemia and overweight/obesity and assess the relationships between hematocrit (Hct) and body mass index (BMI), and between fatigue and Hct, among a sample of farmworkers in California.
Methods:
We estimated the prevalence of anemia (using Hct), overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 25) and self-reported fatigue in 5...

Context 1
... the exploratory analysis of factors associated with Hct, the final linear regression model suggested that younger age, male sex, speaking English as a primary language, and greater serum osmolality were associated with greater Hct (Table 4); income was associated with Hct ( P = 0.07) but without an apparent pattern. Fewer factors were associated with anemia: individuals without anemia were more likely to be younger, be male, and have higher serum osmolality (Table 6). ...Context 2
... final logistic regression model of factors associated with obesity included age, sex, serum osmolality, and primary language (Table 6). In this model, obesity was less common among individuals with reported primary language of other/indigenous, compared with Spanish; no other variables were significantly associated. ...Similar publications
Anemia is reported to be prevalent in approximately 25 % of global population. Approximately 50% of hospitalized patients and 75 % of elderly hospitalized patients are reported to suffer from anemia. Infection induced anemia is the development of anemia due to an infection that could be acute or chronic. Definition of anemia is a hemoglobin level o...

... 47 BMI is one variable that impacts work fatigue, with a greater BMI associated with more fatigue. 48 Workers with an aberrant nutritional state, such as underweight, may feel job fatigue. A study of construction workers discovered that workers who are tired at work are more likely to have irregular nutritional conditions. ...
The construction sector is one of the work sectors with a high level of risk of danger. The activities carried out by construction workers can cause errors and work accidents which are influenced by fatigue. This research aims to understand the factors related to work fatigue in construction workers in the Drinking Water Management System Project. The research method used was an explanatory study with a cross-sectional design, with a total sample of 30 people taken using a total sampling technique. Primary data was collected by distributing standard questionnaires, namely the Subjective Self Rating Test and Depression Anxiety Stress Scales (DASS) 42. Data were analyzed univariately using the frequency distribution test, bivariate analysis using the Chi-Square test, and data were visualized using the Tableau Public 2022 application. From the results, the research found that age (p=0.104), education (p=0.419), and length of work (p=0.063) were not related to work fatigue, while nutritional status (p=0.042) and work stress (p=0.028) were related to the incidence of work fatigue. The research conclusion is that nutritional status and work stress are related to work fatigue in construction workers in the Drinking Water Management System Project. Suggestions to project organizers, it is necessary to carry out effective stress management and coping for workers to reduce work fatigue and maintain workers' nutritional status by providing food according to workers' calorie needs.
