调查农业工人的健康状况是一个具有挑战性的目标。文献报道了有关农民健康的相互矛盾的结果。在这项横断面研究中，对生活在同一农村地区的农民和非农民之间的某些临床和神经行为健康结果进行了比较。在希腊西部的一个农业区随机选择了按年龄和性别匹配的农民 (328) 和非农民 (347)。两组均接受血液学和生化检查，并进行两项神经行为测试，即简易精神状态检查（MMSE）和蒙哥马利-阿斯伯格抑郁评定量表（MADRS）。记录了社会人口统计、个人医疗、营养和生活方式数据。据个人陈述，农民患高血压、心血管、骨科、五官科等疾病的频率较高。研究发现，农民的红细胞压积、血红蛋白和血清胆碱酯酶活性较低。与年轻非农民相比，年轻农民的高血压患病率较低，并且在 MMSE 和 MADRS 测试中表现更好，而这些结果在老年人中却相反。通过多元逻辑回归模型计算优势比。影响这些损害的因素仍有待澄清。
Investigating the health status of agricultural workers is a challenging goal. Contradictory outcomes concerning farmers’ health are reported in the literature. In this cross-sectional study, certain clinical and neurobehavioral health outcomes were compared between farmers and non-farmers living in the same rural area. Farmers (328) and non-farmers (347), matched per age and sex, were selected randomly in an agricultural area in West Greece. Both groups underwent haematological and biochemical examinations and were administered two neurobehavioral tests, namely the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and the Montgomery-Åsberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS). Sociodemographic, personal medical, nutritional and lifestyle data were recorded. According to personal statements, farmers suffered from hypertension, cardiovascular, orthopaedic and ENT problems in higher frequency. Haematocrit, haemoglobin and serum cholinesterase’s activity were found to be lower among farmers. Lower prevalence of hypertension and better performances on MMSE and MADRS tests were recorded in young farmers in relation to young non-farmers, while these findings were reversed in older ages. Odds Ratios were calculated through multivariate logistic regression models. Factors affecting these impairments remain to be clarified.
