Abstract

dc:description

In this study, it is in order to examine the association between metabolic syndrome and the working hours of industrial workers. According to the data of the OECD, South Korea has recorded the highest working hours. Long working hours and to see the relevance of the metabolic syndrome, 8 where the medical examination results and the data collected using a questionnaire, a total of 224 parts by SPSS version 18.0 statistical data analysis. In the final analysis, excluding the respondents applied to the poor subjects of the 197 people, 10.7% of the 21 people with the metabolic syndrome was observed. The results of logistic regression analysis of working hours is significantly correlated with metabolic syndrome was confirmed. Significant correlation between age and gender confirmed but education, alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise, sleep, a negative correlation between length of service were identified. Gender, age, education, alcohol consumption, smoking, exercise, sleep time, tenure and compensation in case workers working less than 8 hours over 10 hours compared to the workers was significantly increased odds ratio of metabolic syndrome. Therefore, I found that the more working time becomes longer, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is high. The significance of this study is to be that tried to first research on the relationship between the metabolic syndrome and an increase in working hours in the country. The limitations of this study is the first, it is composed of health workers, lack of representativeness, and living in the community than in the general population is likely to be included in healthy people Second, because fewer patients with metabolic syndrome factors and did not verify the relevance of in-depth analysis. Third, the metabolic syndrome-related factors in smoking, drinking, exercise, etc. were investigated for. However, it was not investigated for eating. Working hours, can affect the metabolic syndrome predict that workers can be kept in proper working hours, it is considered necessary to ensure management.
