Abstract: Objective To understand the staff health condition of a factory in Tianjin, especially the prevalence of fatty liver.
Methods Totally 4 912 workers who work in a factory in Tianjin received physical examination and laboratory tests. Fatty liver was detected by B-ultrasound, and compared with the normal reference values of the instrument.
Results In total 4 912 workers, 4 845 received the B ultrasonic examination, accounting for 98.6 %. The result was normal in 2 916 workers, abnormal in 1 929 workers, 832 of them showed changes indicating fatty liver, accounting for 17.2% of the effective data(832/4 845). The detection rate of fatty liver in male was higher than in that in female(χ2=146.467, P=0.01).
Conclusion Health education on fatty liver should be enhanced, and more attention should be paid to prevent and control fatty liver.
