Implication

Cross-sectional study examines dehydration and physiological strain among agricultural workers, highlighting heat exposure risks.

Key Points

  • Physiological strain significantly increased due to rising WBGT, indicating urgent need for heat mitigations.
  • Dehydration risks rose from 16.5% to 33% among workers, further emphasizing the impact of excessive sweating.
  • Multiple linear regression identified work experience as a protective factor against dehydration risks.
  • Findings suggest that occupational heat exposure in agriculture necessitates immediate intervention strategies.
