本研究旨在调查韩国各种职业中接触有害物质的工人嗅觉功能障碍的患病率。我们设计了一项横断面研究。暴露组（n = 296）由汽车修理、印刷、制鞋和电镀行业的韩国工人组成，并与办公室工作人员（非暴露组，n = 99）进行比较。对受试者进行自我报告问卷调查以了解人口特征。此外，还使用韩国版 Sniffin’s Stick (KVSS) I 和 II 测试来评估嗅觉功能，据报道该测试在韩国受试者中有效且可靠。 KVSS I评分≥7或KVSS II评分≥30为正常，KVSS I评分<7或KVSS II评分<30为泌乳功能障碍。以嗅觉功能障碍为因变量进行统计分析，计算暴露组的患病率（PR）。办公室工人嗅觉障碍患病率为21.2%，汽车修理工为45.1%，印刷工为69.7%，制鞋、电镀工为88.9%。调整后的 PR 最高的是电镀业（3.589，95% CI 1.957 至 6.583），其次是制鞋业（3.136，95% CI 1.763 至 5.579）、印刷业（2.669，95% CI 1.610 至 4.424）和汽车修理业（1.914，95% CI 1.610 至 4.424）。 1.105至3.317）工人。与上班族相比，四个职业群体的嗅觉功能障碍患病率和嗅觉功能障碍的PR均很高。这一发现可能成为为接触有害物质或从事高风险职业的工人制定嗅觉功能障碍预防政策的重要基础。
The present study was performed to investigate the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction in workers exposed to hazardous substances in a variety of occupations in Korea. We designed a cross-sectional study. The exposed group (n=296) consisted of Korean workers in the automobile repair, printing, shoemaking and plating industries and was compared with office workers (non-exposed group, n=99). A self-report questionnaire was administered to the subjects for demographic characteristics. In addition, olfactory function was evaluated using the Korean version of Sniffin’s Stick (KVSS) I and II test, which has been reported to be valid and reliable in Korean subjects. KVSS I score ≥7 or KVSS II score ≥30 was classified as normal, KVSS I score <7 or KVSS II score <30 was classified as oflactory dysfunction. The statistical analyses were performed with olfactory dysfunction as a dependent variable to calculate prevalence ratio (PR) of the exposed group. The prevalence of olfactory dysfunction was 21.2% in office, 45.1% in automobile repair, 69.7% in printing and 88.9% in shoemaking and plating workers. The adjusted PR was highest in plating (3.589, 95% CI 1.957 to 6.583), followed by shoemaking (3.136, 95% CI 1.763 to 5.579), printing (2.669, 95% CI 1.610 to 4.424) and automobile repair (1.914, 95% CI 1.105 to 3.317) workers. In comparison with office workers, the prevalence of olfactory dysfunction and the PR of olfactory dysfunction were very high in the four occupational groups. This finding could be an important basis for establishing the olfactory dysfunction prevention policy for workers who are exposed to hazardous substances or work in high-risk occupations.
