Objective: To understand the current status of obesity in railway maintenance section staff, to explore the factors affecting obesity in this population, and to provide scientific basis for exploring the feasible program of enterprise employee health management. Methods: Based on cross-sectional study, combined with the particularity of the staff of a locomotive depot, using chi-square test and multivariate Logistic regression method, we extracted the relevant information from the physical examination data and lifestyle survey data according to the unified standard, and made a statistical descriptive analysis. Results: In 2023, the obesity rate of a railway maintenance section employee was 22.5%, 21.3% for employees aged 29 years and younger, 26.4% for employees aged 30-39 years, 24.6% for employees aged 40-49 years, and 19.1% for employees aged 50 years and older. There was an association between obesity and a high risk of developing dyslipidemia, hyperglycemia, and hypertension(all P<0.05). Older age and more than 1 h of exercise per session were protective factors for obesity, and having chronic diseases, a family history, smoking, and a high number of weekly drinks were risk factors for obesity. Conclusion: The obesity situation of railroad workers is not optimistic, and the health management of workers should be strengthened to advocate a healthy lifestyle and improve the health level of workers in the engine section. |
