Abstract

Introduction: Screening of risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome among commercial and Train Drivers that are considered safety sensitive jobs, is an important issue in safety of Transportation system. Metabolic Syndrome is consisted of disturbed lipid profile, high blood pressure, and high waist circumference. It can lead to decrease the quality of life and higher health associated costs for these patients. This study aimed to assess risk factors for Metabolic Syndrome among Train Drivers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on 281 Train Drivers referred to their annual health examinations to Occupational Medicine Clinic of Baharloo Hospital, Tehran University of Medical Sciences. Demographic characteristics of participants were recorded. Blood pressure, body mass index and waist circumference of drivers were measured. Participants’ blood sample for fasting blood sugar, triglyceride, high and low density lipoproteins were collected. Metabolic Syndrome was defined according to the NCEP ATP III criteria. Results: All of the participants were males. Their mean age and BMI was 43± 10 year and 26. 60± 3. 67 Kg/m 2, respectively. Fifty three (21%) of the participants were diagnosed with Metabolic Syndrome. The more frequent risk factor for Metabolic Syndrome was triglyceride more than 150mg/dl. Conclusion: Findings of the present study revealed high prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome among Train Drivers. Further studies are needed for screening the Metabolic Syndrome in this occupational group as it is a sensitive occupation.
