This work can provide a basis for formulating relevant measures for occupational noise prevention and control in the future.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nMethods<\/jats:title>\nOn the basis of the key occupational disease monitoring project in Chongqing, China, in 2021, the data of 1125 workers exposed to occupational noise were analyzed. Data included demographic information, occupational history, clinical physical examination information, and noise detection information of the working environment. Chi-square test and multifactorial logistic regression were used for statistical analysis.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nResults<\/jats:title>\nThe prevalence rates of abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG), blood pressure (BP), and pure tone audiometry (PTA) were 21.9% (246\/1125), 27.8% (313\/1125), and 18.0% (202\/1125), respectively. Male workers accounted for 78.8%. Compared with male workers, female workers had a lower prevalence of abnormal PTA (OR = 0.28, 95% CI = 0.16\u20130.50). Workers working in medium enterprises had a lower prevalence of abnormal BP than workers in micro enterprises (OR = 0.36, 95% CI = 0.19\u20130.66). The prevalence of abnormal BP and PTA of workers increased with age. After adjusting for age, sex, and body mass index, the prevalence of abnormal ECG of mining workers was higher than that of manufacturing workers (OR = 1.54, 95% CI = 1.07\u20132.24), and the prevalence of abnormal PTA had a rising trend with the increase in noise exposure value.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>\n\nConclusion<\/jats:title>\nNoise-exposed workers have a high prevalence of abnormal ECG, BP, and PTA, and factors such as age, enterprise size, and workplace noise exposure are correlated with the aberrant health of workers. Governments, enterprises, and individuals need to attach great importance to the possible adverse effects of noise. They must also actively adopt various effective measures to protect the occupational safety and health of workers.<\/jats:p>\n<\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0305576","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,25]],"date-time":"2024-06-25T18:41:51Z","timestamp":1719340911000},"page":"e0305576","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Cross-sectional
