Research advance on occupational health of taxi drivers
-
Abstract
Due to long-time sedentariness, irregular diet, work stress, and other job features, taxi drivers have a prominent "sub-health" problem. High incidences of hypertension, dyslipidemia, hyperglycaemia, fatty liver, neck and low back pain, chronic prostatitis, and gastrointestinal diseases are identified among this special occupational group. Unhealthy lifestyles (such as sedentariness, unreasonable diet, smoking, and alcohol consumption), air pollution, and social psychological factors are likely to affect the occupational health of taxi drivers.
