| description | INTRODUCTION: It is known that in cement factories health problems arise due to different kinds of risk factors such as noise, dust and temperature, which workers are exposed to in manufacturing parts of their facilities. This research was conducted to determine the reproductive health status of married men working in a cement plant. METHODS: The ethical permit required to conduct this scientific inquiry has been obtained by the relevant institution. In this study, 70 married men working in a cement factory and 70 married men working in the office environment were categorized and tested by chi-square test. The level of significance was taken as p <0,05. RESULTS: Regarding the reproductive health of married men working in the cement industry, statistical significance was observed in the parameters of birth congenital anomaly, maternal birth history, maternal period of pregnancy and maternal preterm birth. Statistical significance of BMI, alcohol use, smoking and chronic diseases were also examined for reproductive health-related indicators. Significance of alcohol use, as well as preterm birth, was also statistically significant DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: As a result of the questionnaires and statistical studies, the reproductive health effects of men working in the cement plant were found to be significantly higher than those working in the office environment (p <0.05), depending on working conditions and demographic characteristics |
