Abstract
AbstractMultimorbidity is a huge public health issue that affects people's health significantly on a global scale. Many chronic diseases have been linked to exposure to workplace dangers. The goal of this study was to comprehend the existing degree of multimorbidity among steel workers, the connection between cumulative occupational hazard exposure and multimorbidity, and to build the groundwork for the creation of preventative and control strategies for multimorbidity among steelworkers. This cross-sectional study included 3577 steel workers who had occupational health examinations in 2017. The relationship between occupational risks and the prevalence of multimorbidity in steel workers was examined using multiple logistic regression. We discovered that the rate of multimorbidity was 61.3%. The risk of multimorbidity among employees exposed to high levels of shift work, heat, noise, and dust was 1.520 (95% CI: 1.147 to 2.014), 3.376 (95% CI: 2.583 to 4.413), 2.069 (95% CI: 1.653 to 2.590), and 1.509 (95% CI: 1.1262.023) respectively in a multifactorial logistic regression analysis. Steelworkers need stronger protection against each occupational hazard since multimorbidity is highly common within the steel sector as a whole and is made more likely by occupational hazard exposure.
