Brief Summary
|
Visual disorders Diabetes and Hypertension are major health disorders in Truck drivers due to
their sedentary lifestyle and inability to get screened for the same at appropriate intervals.
Driving has become a visually intensive task. There has been a steep increase in road traffic
accidents in last decades in developing nations such as India This might be due to many reasons
but impaired visual function can be one of the major causes of mishaps According to the World
Health Organisation 2023 road traffic injuries are expected to become the seventh leading
cause of deaths globally by 2030 with low and middle income countries disproportionately
affected accounting for 93 percent of road traffic related injury mortality
Truck drivers health is one of the most neglected
part, often overlooked with poor working environment and medical care available A lot of truck
drivers are suffering from visual disorders Diabetes and Hypertension but are never screened and
also are not aware of these underling diseases To make them self aware and seek help health
education intervention should be done |
