Abstract: Objective To analyze the examination results of blood pressure,fasting plasma glucose,blood lipid and body mass index(BMI) among professional vehicle divers in a bus company in Chengdu City,then combined with questionnaire survey to provide evidence for health management of cardiovascular disease(CVD) for them. Methods From October to December 2021,a retrospective analysis was performed on the examination results of blood pressure,plasma glucose,blood lipid and BMI among 659 professional vehicle divers in a bus company in Chengdu City,who underwent occupational health examination in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Chengdu Medical College·China National Nuclear Corporation 416 Hospital,and compared with 713 ordinary healthy individuals engaged in office work. The results of occupational motor vehicle drivers in different genders and age groups were compared,and a questionnaire survey was conducted on some drivers. Results The actual measured values and abnormal detection rate of BMI and fasting plasma glucose in professional vehicle divers were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05),but the actual measured value of blood pressure was higher than that in the control group,and the difference in the abnormal detection rate was not statistically significant between the diver group and the control group(P>0.05). The detection rate of overweight and obesity in professional vehicle divers was 72.9%,and the detection rate of elevated fasting plasma glucose was 28.2%,which were higher than those in the control group(all P<0.05). The detection rate of dyslipidemia was 65.1%. The detection rate of overweight and obesity in male professional vehicle drivers was 74.0%,the detection rate of elevated fasting plasma glucose was 29.1%,and the detection rate of dyslipidemia was 65.2%,which were higher than those in females(all P<0.05). The detection rate of overweight and obesity,elevated fasting plasma glucose and dyslipidemia in drivers increased with age(all P<0.05). The difference in the dyslipidemia was not statistically significant between the diver group and the control group,and there was no trend of increasing with age(all P>0.05). The questionnaire survey results indicated that the drivers of the company had CVD related unhealthy behaviors such as long working hours,insufficient time spent getting off the vehicle,irregular meals,and insufficient water intake. Conclusion The risk factors of CVD among drivers of the company are serious,the professional vehicle drivers and their employers should pay attention to,and it is necessary to develop targeted health intervention plans.
