ABSTRAK Pekerja loket tol mempunyai risiko terpapar debu, khususnya PM2.5 yangdapat berakibat pada sindrom metabolik tubuh. Penelitian ini membandingkanantara pekerja loket tol dengan pekerja office terkait adanya sindrom metabolikyang diukur melalui tekanan darah, profil lipid (LDL, HDL, trigliseride, dankolesterol total) dan Indek Massa tubuh (IMT). Hasil penelitian ditemukan adanyaperbedaan rata-rata nilai tekanan darah distolik (Pvalue 0,470), kadar LDLkolesterol (Pvalue 0,349), kadar HDL kolesterol (Pvalue 0,336), Trigliseride(Pvalue 0,023), dan Kolesterol Total(Pvalue 0,142), dimana pekerja office(kelompok kontrol) mempunyai nilai lebih tinggi dibandingkan pekerja loket tol(kelompok terpapar). ABSTRACT Toll booth workers had risk of dust exposure, especially PM2.5 which canaffect metabolic syndrome in the body. This study compared the toll booth workerto office worker related to the metabolic syndrome as measured by bloodpressure, lipid profile (LDL, HDL, trigliseride, and total cholesterol) and BodyMass Index (BMI). Results reveal the different mean values for diastolic bloodpreasure (Pvalue 0,470), LDL cholesterol (Pvalue 0,349), HDL cholesterol(Pvalue 0,336), triglyceride (Pvalue 0,023), and total cholesterol (Pvalue 0,142),which is office workers (control group) has a higher value than the toll boothworkers (exposed group). |
