The cardiometabolic disorder is a combination of metabolic dysfunctions mainly characterized by central adiposity, dyslipidemia, insulin resistance, impaired glucose tolerance, and hypertension, which could lead to diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, accounting for a large burden of morbidity and mortality worldwide and continuing to remain a public health challenge. With the rise of urbanization, the prevalence of cardiometabolic disorders has been growing due to increasing unhealthy diets and sedentary behaviors.
With approximately a third or half of the day spent at work, occupational exposure of an individual is considered an important set of determinants for cardiometabolic risk. Some occupational exposures that may lead to cardiovascular disorders have been studied, such as noise, air pollutants, and occupational stress. However, their associations with cardiometabolic disorders and the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Moreover, more occupation-related factors of cardiometabolic disorders are to be investigated, including physical factors (e.g., noise, extreme weather, radiation), chemical factors (e.g., pollutants, poisonous substance), biological factors (e.g., microbial infection), ergonomics (e.g., sedentarism), physiological factors (e.g., circadian rhythm disruption), and psychological factors (e.g., occupational stress). In addition, the preventive effects of various occupational protection strategies are worth exploring, such as earmuff and mask searing, light therapy and psychotherapy.
This Research Topic invites the submission of studies to consolidate associations between occupational exposures and cardiometabolic disorders and propose effective prevention strategies. Submissions discussing novel concepts related to the underlying mechanisms between occupational exposures and cardiometabolic disorders are also welcomed.
Subtopics of interest include but are not limited to the following:
• The effect of physical occupational exposures on cardiometabolic disorders;
• The effect of chemical occupational exposures on cardiometabolic disorders;
• The effect of ergonomic occupational exposures on cardiometabolic disorders;
• The effect of physiological occupational exposures on cardiometabolic disorders;
• The effect of psychological occupational exposures on cardiometabolic disorders;
• The burden of occupational exposures on cardiometabolic disorders;
• The effectiveness of prevention strategies to occupation risk factors on cardiometabolic disorders.
