Abstract:

With the development of the economy，the health status of taxi drivers is becoming increasingly severe，especially the risk of cardiovascular disease（CVD） and its risk factors among taxi drivers. The factors affecting the cardiovascular health and disease development of taxi drivers include hypertension and dyslipidemia，among which hypertension is the most common. The reporting rate of hypertension is high among taxi drivers，and it is strongly associated with CVD. Occupational factors include sedentary driving and irregular shift work，among which sedentary driving is significantly associated with the risk of CVD among taxi drivers. Additionally，unhealthy lifestyle behaviors（e.g.，smoking，excessive alcohol consumption，irregular diet），environmental exposure factors，and socioeconomic factors further contribute to the increased risk. This article reviews the influencing factors of cardiovascular health and diseases among taxi drivers both domestically and internationally，revealing the existing risks and providing a scientific basis for formulating effective strategies to safeguard the cardiovascular health for the taxi driver population in the future.
