The global prevalence of metabolic syndrome has increased dramatically in the past decade, workplace which directly influence the physical, mental and social well-being of employees are considered important environmental and social determinants for risk of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, biochemical profiling of these population is required. Objectives: This study aimed to assess the association between working environment and metabolic syndrome among workers in Aksum town, central zone, Tigray Region, Ethiopia. Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from September, 2020 to August, 2021 in Aksum town. A standard questionnaire was used to collect data on socio-demographic variables. Biochemical analysis was done using COBAS C 311 analyzer for the determination of lipid profile, fasting blood glucose and anthropometric measurements. The data were interred into SPSS version 25 and binary logistic regression and linear regression were analyzed to evaluate the association between variables. If P. value ≤ 0.05, it is considered as statistical significance. Result: The findings of this study showed that the magnitude of metabolic syndrome was 16.0% (13% government office workers & 3% Daily laborers). The most common metabolic syndrome components among government office workers reduced high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol were 19%, hypertriglyceridemia was 22% & hypertension was 24%, had significant positively associated with a higher risk of metabolic syndrome (P< 0.05). Hyperglycemia were 18% and abnormality of body mass index was 30% frequently found in government office workers (P >0.05). Government office workers 35% had less vigorous physical activity level, 38% had less type of olive oil used for cooking & 27% had less than 3 serving of fruits and vegetables per week as compared to daily laborers (P< 0.05). Conclusion: In this study, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was (16%), 13% of government office workers had a higher comparable to 3% of daily laborers. Metabolic syndrome was more common in government office workers, urban population and with advancing age, by hypertension, dyslipidemia and central obesity were the most frequent components of metabolic syndrome. | en_US |
