- Abstract
- Purpose: This study was conducted to compare the changes in the levels of liver enzymes after providing health education to workers. Methods: Among 909 electronics-manufacturing workers, 96 (10.6%) workers had abnormal liver functions. Of these, male workers were randomly assigned into either the health education experimental group (48 [52.2%]) or the control group (44 [47.8%]). Depending on the level of participation in the health education,workers in the experimental group were classified into the participation (32 [34.8%]) and non-participation groups (16 [17.4%]). Changes in the levels of liver enzymes were compared among three groups. Results: The changes in the levels of gamma-glutamyltransferase (r-GTP) in the participation, non-participation, and control groups were -25.3±54.5 IU/L, -4.4±24.1 IU/L, and -5.3±38.8 IU/L, respectively (p=.036). Aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase,waist circumference, body mass index, daily alcohol consumption, weekly exercise, and changes in smoking habits in the 3 groups did not differ significantly. In the multiple linear regression analysis, the variable of education participation revealed a significant regression coefficient of -25.10 when the change in r-GTP levels was the dependent variable. Conclusion: A brief health education targeted towards the management of liver disease among workers improved r-GTP levels.
