勞工肥胖與共病相關性之探討

The rate of obesity increases due to the popular fast food culture. The obesity relative risk ratio of Southeastern Asians is higher than that of western white men in metabolic syndrome. This study focuses on analyzing the laborers' comorbidities of obesity and BMI cut point of obesity definition. The result could offer laborers further understanding to their health condition. This was a cross-sectional study. All the health examination reports came from Armed Forces Tsoying Hospital, where we collected 1456cases for this research. The research method focuses on analyzing the relevant factors of obesity, occupation, gender, age, heart ischemia and other related items of health examination. We did the descriptive and deductive statistical analysis of the study. Among1, 456 laborers, the rate of obesity is 16.6%. Factors such as gender, occupation, liver function impairment(GPT, GOT, rGT), renal function impairment (Creatinine), hyperlipidemia, hyperurecemia, DM and heart ischemia all achieve statistic significance with the obesity in Chi-square analysis. Besides, by doing T-test with the factors like gender, liver function impairment, hyperlipidemia, hyperurecemia, DM, heart ischemia and anemia, we found that results also achieve statistic significance. In ANOVA analysis, we compared the obesity severity with the age level, occupation and heart ischemia; however, only the occupation and heart ischemia achieve statistic significance. The result of this research implies that the sedentary living style in Taiwan keeps obesity on the rise. Therefore, it's important for laborers to be concerned about their food and health management in daily life. According to the research result, the adequate BMI cut point of obesity definition for laborers may be set in 26.2, but we still need more research samples to confirm it in the future.
