[Investigation of the relationship between occupational gasoline exposure and metabolic syndrome].

Objective: To explore the correlation between occupational gasoline exposure and metabolic syndrome (MS) . Methods: In September 2019, a total of 147 occupational gasoline exposure workers from a oil sales company in Beijing were selected as the observation group by using cluster sampling method, 158 people without gasoline exposure from the company were selected as the control group. Occupational health examination were performed to measure body mass, blood pressure and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) , triglycerides (TG) , high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and other data. General demographic characteristics, occupational history, past medical history and personal history were analyzed either. Results: The levels of systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, FPG, TG and BMI in the observation group were all higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) . The detection rates of MS, obesity and hypertension in the observation group were all higher than those in the control group (P<0.05) . There were no significant differences in age, gender, working age, drinking, smoking, marital status, HDL-C level, detection rates of abnormal TG and HDL-C between the observation group and the control group (P>0.05) . The odds ratio (OR) of MS in the observation group was 1.988 times that in the control group (P<0.05) . Conclusion: Occupational gasoline exposure is associated with the increasing detection rate of MS.
