Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between residential district of people, such as power plant, steel-mill and petrochemical industries, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Methods: Using a cross-sectional study design, we randomly recruited participants for our study from industrial areas (thermoelectric power plant, steel-mill, petrochemical industry) and rural areas. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the relationships between Euro quality of life-5 dimension (EQ-5D) scores and living region, while controlling for sociodemographic characteristics.

Results: In adjusted model, quality of life decreased with increasing category of age and were lower for females than males. EQ-5D scores of people living in the vicinity of thermoelectric power plant were significant lower than those of people living the vicinity of comparison region (odds ratio, 1.59; 95% confidence interval, 1.00 to 2.53).

Conclusions: Living region of thermoelectric power plant, was strongly associated with scores on the EQ-5D. More research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms which makes the relationship with the living regions and HRQoL.

忠南工业园区居住小区与健康相关生活质量的关系

目的:本研究旨在探讨电厂、炼钢、石化等行业居民居住区域与健康相关生活品质(HRQoL)的关系。方法:采用横断面研究设计，随机从工业地区(热电厂、炼钢厂、石化工业)和农村地区招募研究对象。采用Logistic回归分析确定欧洲生活质量5维度(EQ-5D)得分与居住区域之间的关系，同时控制社会人口统计学特征。结果:在调整后的模型中，生活质量随年龄类别的增加而下降，女性的生活质量低于男性。居住在火力发电厂附近的人的EQ-5D得分显著低于居住在比较区域附近的人(优势比，1.59;95%置信区间为1.00 ~ 2.53)。结论:火力发电厂居住区域与EQ-5D得分密切相关。其与生活区域和HRQoL之间关系的机制有待进一步研究。
