Background
Obesity is increasingly recognized as a grave public health concern globally. It is associated with prevalent diseases including coronary heart disease, fatty liver, type 2 diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Prior research has identified demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, and genetic factors as contributors to obesity. Nevertheless, the inf...
Background
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) represents a prevalent ailment, progressively surging within the ranks of coal mine laborers. The current study endeavors to elucidate the effects of dust exposure and smoking on COPD incidence amongst coal mine workers, while concurrently devising preventive strategies for this affliction.
M...
Background
The global incidence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is rapidly escalating, positioning it as a principal public health challenge with significant implications for population well-being. Given its status as a cornerstone of China's economic structure, the steel industry employs a substantial workforce, consequently bringing a...
Multimorbidity is a huge public health issue that affects people's health significantly on a global scale. Many chronic diseases have been linked to exposure to workplace dangers. The goal of this study was to comprehend the existing degree of multimorbidity among steel workers, the connection between cumulative occupational hazard exposure and mul...
Coal workers are more likely to develop chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to exposure to occupational hazards such as dust. In this study, a risk scoring system is constructed according to the optimal model to provide feasible suggestions for the prevention of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in coal workers. Using 3955 coal workers wh...
The Chinese Visceral Adiposity Index (CVAI) is an indicator of visceral adiposity dysfunction used to evaluate the metabolic health of the Chinese population. Steelworkers are more likely to be obese due to their exposure to special occupational factors, and have a higher prevalence of carotid atherosclerosis (CAS). This study aimed to analyze the...
Objective:
Hyperuricemia has become the second most common metabolic disease in China after diabetes, and the disease burden is not optimistic.
Methods:
We used the method of retrospective cohort studies, a baseline survey completed from January to September 2017, and a follow-up survey completed from March to September 2019. A group of 2992 ste...

... These findings demonstrated the significant relationship between AFO and smoking among workers with silicosis, with an association being consistent with that was reported in the previous epidemiological studies in general populations [21,22]. We also investigated the potential interactions between smoking and cumulative dust exposure in relation to AFO but no evidence of interaction was found, which is consistent with the findings from Xingtai nested case-control study [24] and Guangzhou Biobank Cohort Study [25]. However, conflicting findings were reported in some other studies, which suggest a significant interaction between smoking and dust exposure in the association with AFO [26,27]. ...
... Notably, the Chinese visceral adiposity index (CVAI), proposed by Xia [24], integrates anthropometric and biochemical variables, tailored to the characteristics of the Chinese population. Previous studies have demonstrated that, compared to conventional indices, CVAI holds superior clinical value in conditions like hypertension [25][26][27], diabetes [28][29][30], fatty liver [31,32], and carotid artery plaque [33,34]. Presently, there is a paucity of research regarding the association between CVAI and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, highlighting the imperative need for further validation of their relationship. ...
... The study also determined the replaceable noise loads using mathematical calculations [16][17][18]. The vibration load was characterized by an equivalent value or dose, and the permissible dose of vibration per shift was calculated using the permissible adjusted value and the exposure time of miners (480 minutes). ...
... Hyperuricemia is a metabolic disorder characterized by elevated serum uric acid (SUA) levels [1] and is closely related to a variety of diseases such as gout, chronic renal disease, diabetes mellitus, and other diseases [2]. Hyperuricemia has recently emerged as the second metabolic disorder following diabetes globally, exerting a significant public health concern and threat to global human health [3,4]. It was reported that the prevalence was ca. ...
