Abstract

Background: Excessive heat stress will cause fatigue and drowsiness, reduce stability and increase the number of work errors. The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between heat stress and work fatigue and increased blood pressure in construction workers at PT PP Urban Development Project at the University of Nahdlatul Ulama Yogyakarta. Subjects and Method: Research with a cross sectional design was conducted at PT PP Urban Development Project, Nahdlatul Ulama University, Yogyakarta, from March to April 2022. A sample of 107 workers was selected by purposive sampling. The dependent variable is work fatigue and an in-crease in blood pressure. The independent variable is heat stress. Heat stress was measured by Heat Stress Monitor, work fatigue by reaction timer and increase in blood pressure was measured by digit-al sphygmomanometer. Test analysis using chi-square and the value of Odds Ratio (OR). Results: Construction workers who experience high heat stress have a risk for an increase in blood pressure of 3.10 times compared to normal heat stress and are statistically significant (OR= 3.10; 95% CI= 1.01 to 9.24; p= 0.020), and have a risk of work fatigue 2.73 times compared to normal heat stress and statistically significant (OR= 2.73; 95% CI= 0.97 to 7.52; p= 0.020). Conclusion: There is a relationship between high heat stress and work fatigue and an increase in blood pressure.Keywords: heat stress, fatigue, blood pressure Correspondence:Nisa Nur Kusuma.

Abstract

Background: Hypertension is a disease that causes damage to body systems. Risk factors for hypertension are changes in socioeconomic, environmental, and unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking, lack of physical activity, high-fat and high-calorie foods, and alcohol consumption. This study aims to analyze the relationship between physical activity, sleep duration, and alcohol consumption on the incidence of hypertension in adults with a meta-analysis study. Subjects and Method: This study is a systematic review and meta-analysis with the population: adults (>18 years old). Intervention: low physical activity, short sleep duration and frequent alcohol consumption. Comparison: moderate physical activity, normal sleep duration, and no alcohol consumption. Outcome: the incidence of hypertension. The articles used were obtained from several databases: PubMed, SpringerLink, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar. The keywords are: “physical activity” OR exercise” AND “sleep duration” AND “alcohol consumption” AND "hypertension" OR “high blood pressure”. The article used was a full-text article with a cross-sectional study design and the results were reported in aOR. Articles were analyzed using the Review Manager 5.3 application. Results: A total of 27 articles in this study came from 4 continents, namely Asia (South Korea, China, Lebanon, Thailand), Africa (Cameroon, Uganda, Ethiopia, Sudan), Europe (Poland, France, Portugal, Spain) and America (United States of America). The forest plot results showed that adults with low physical activity had 1.41 times higher risk to experience hypertension compared to people who did moderate physical activity (aOR = 1.41; 95% CI = 1.22 to 1.62; p < 0.001). Short sleep duration increased the incidence of hypertension by 1.19 times higher compared to normal sleep duration (aOR = 1.19; 95% CI = 1.06 to 1.32; p = 0.002). Frequent alcohol consumption increased the incidence of hypertension by 1.29 times higher compared to no alcohol consumption (aOR=1.29; 95% CI = 1.12 to 1.49; p=0.0006). Conclusion: Physical activity, sleep duration, and alcohol consumption increase the incidence of hypertension in the adult population.
