Cross-sectional study finds significant liver dysfunction risk factors among traffic police, suggesting need for intervention.

This study aims to identify risk factors for liver dysfunction among traffic police and develop a predictive model.
Cross-sectional design with 124 respondents from Palembang City using quota sampling.
Liver function assessed with enzyme tests for AST, ALT, ALP, and bilirubin.
Data analyzed using Chi-square test and logistic regression (p<0.05).
Liver dysfunction significantly associated with age, non-standard mask use, and high carbon monoxide exposure.
Officers aged >35 years had a 3.6-fold higher risk of liver dysfunction compared to those aged ≤35 years.
High CO exposure (≥63.80 µg/m³) increased the risk of liver dysfunction approximately threefold.

Yuwati et al. (2026) studied this question.
