Abstract

Introduction: In order to estimate the prevalence of overweight and OBESITY and their association with other cardiovascular risk factors in male OIL INDUSTRY workers on Kharg Island, we measured metabolic and anthropometric variables in 1255 of these workers. Methods: 1255 male workers employed at the Crude Petroleum Export Terminals Company or the petrochemical plant on Kharg Island were assessed with respect to anthropometric and metabolic variables over a period of 9 months (1/9/2000 -1/6/2001).Results: 61% of workers had a body mass index (BMI) of ≥ 2:25kg/m2. Visceral OBESITY, when defined as waist circumference (WC) >100cm, was seen in 33.4% of workers; and when defined as a waist-to-hip ratio of >0.9, in 73.5% of the sample. 32.7% had a serum total cholesterol concentration of ≥200mg/dl. 39.5% had a serum triglyceride concentration of ≥200mg/dl. 18.5% had a serum LDL concentration of ≥130mg/dl, with 13.1% having a high-density concentration (HDL) concentration of <40mg/dl. There was a direct and significant correlation between BMI and both, cholesterol and triglyceride levels (p=0.001 and p=0.0001, respectively). WHR was also a significant direct correlation between waist circumference and both cholesterol (p=0.02) and LDL levels (p=0.04). There was also directly correlated with serum triglyceride (p=0.007). There was a significant, direct correlation between both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and WHR, WC and BMI (all p<0.0001).Conclusion: The high prevalence of overweight and OBESITY and their association with other cardiovascular risk factors, in the OIL INDUSTRY workers of Kharg Island underlines the urgent need for interventional health programs.
