Dyslipidemia is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease, with healthcare workers particularly vulnerable due to occupational characteristics. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and factors associated with dyslipidemia among hospital staff at Mahavajiralongkorn Thanyaburi Hospital. A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted using data from the annual health examination in 2024 of 210 hospital staff. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and logistic regression. Dyslipidemia was defined according to NCEP ATP III criteria.
The study found a dyslipidemia prevalence of 66.7%. Total Cholesterol and LDL-Cholesterol abnormalities were 54.3% and 58.1%, respectively. Factors significantly associated with dyslipidemia included age ≥39 years (OR = 1.89, 95% CI: 1.05-3.40, p-value = 0.033) and manual workers compared to clinical staff (OR = 1.86, 95% CI: 1.13-3.12, p-value = 0.040). Other factors including gender, education level, blood pressure, blood glucose, body mass index, and liver enzymes showed no significant association (p-value > 0.05).
In conclusion, dyslipidemia prevalence was high among hospital staff. Key risk factors were age ≥39 years and manual worker positions. Targeted health promotion programs focusing on these high-risk groups should be developed for cardiovascular disease prevention.
