Abstract:
ObjectiveTo examine the health status and its influencing factors in civil servants and to provide empirical evidence for health management among Chinese civil servants.
MethodsThe physical check-up data of 21 125 civil servants from seven cities in 2011 were collected and a self-administered questionnaire survey about health condition and relevant factors was conducted among 242 persons randomly selected from the civil servants.
ResultsAmong the civil servants,88.5% had at least one abnormal indicator of health status.The top three abnormal indicators were obesity-overweight (48.6%,5797/11 939),dyslipidemia (44.3%,8 762/19 793),and fatty liver (37.9%,7 509/19 804).The results of multivariate logistic regression revealed that age (odds ratio
OR=0.961,95% confidence interval
CI=0.934-0.988) was a risk factor of low self-report health status;male gender (
OR=2.824,95%
CI=1.478-5.397),work satisfaction (
OR=1.199,95%
CI=1.075-1.338),and healthy habits (
OR=1.369,95%
CI=1.134-1.653) were protective factors of self-report health.
ConclusionChinese civil servant's health is not in good status.The elder age is a risk factor for civil servants' health,while male,better work satisfaction and more healthy living habits are protective factors.
