    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Vascular Medicine
    • Public Health

    Context:

    • Textile industry workers face specific occupational health risks.
    • Vascular pathologies like varicose veins are a concern in physically demanding jobs.
    • Assessing the impact of employment duration and age on worker health is crucial.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate the prevalence of varicose veins, shin ulceration, and thrombotic conditions in female textile workers.
    • To evaluate the correlation between these conditions and factors such as age, employment duration, and work-post.
    • To analyze sickness absenteeism in relation to preventive and surgical treatments.

    Summary:

    • A study of 441 women in textile plants revealed increased incidence of varicose veins, shin ulceration, post-thrombotic syndrome, and active thrombotic changes.
    • These vascular issues were found to escalate with increasing age and duration of employment within the textile industry.
    • Sickness absenteeism was significantly linked to these work-related health problems.

    Impact:

    • Findings highlight the occupational risks in the textile sector, emphasizing the need for early detection of vascular diseases.
    • Early surgical intervention for varicose veins can prevent severe complications and reduce work-related disability.
    • This research informs occupational health strategies and workplace interventions for textile industry employees.
