Abstract
With increased use of neurotoxic agents in manufacturing industries, hazardous effects of neurotoxic agents pose significant problems in protecting health of workers who work in these industries. A normal range of neurobehavioral performance is required to study hazardous effects of neurotoxic agents among workers. However, such reference for Korean population is not available yet. The objective of this study is to estimate a normal range of neurobehavioral test performance of female workers in Korea. Data for neurobehavioral test performance developed by the World Health Organization were obtained from 165 female workers. Study subjects, 140 production workers and 25 clerks, who voluntarily participated in this study were not occupationally exposed to neurotoxic agents. The mean age and the mean education years of them were 32 years and 10.9 years, respectively Santa Ana dexterity, pursuit aiming, digit symbol, simple reaction time, and Benton visual retention tests among the Neurobehavioral Core Test Battery(NCTB) were included in the evaluation. Subjects were interviewed by a trained interviewer for their detailed occupational history
유기용제와 같은 신경독성 물질에 폭로되지 않은 제조업체 여성 근로자를 대상으로 세계보건기구의 Neurobehavioral core Test Battery(NCTB) 7가지 검사 항목 중 사업장 여건을 고려하여 산타아나 민첩성검사와 목적점 찍기, 숫자 기호화, 단순반응시간, 시각기억 검사 등 5가지 항목을 세계보건기구 표준방법에 따라 실시하여, 신경독성 물질폭로로 인한 신경행동학적인 영향을 평가하기 위한 대조군 자료를 마련하고자 본 연구를 시행하였다. 잘 쓰는 손과 반대편 손의 산타아나 민첩성검사 수행능력은 각각
