Abstract

Purpose. The analysis of influence of occupational factors on prevalence of the arterial hypertension (AH) in occupational groups of men.

Materials and methods. One-stage studying of prevalence of AH in 13 occupational groups (3 842 men) is carried out. Working conditions were estimated according to cards of certification of workplaces of departments of labor protection of the enterprises and establishments.

Main results. It is shown that the increase in a category of working conditions on gravity of labor process is characterized by lowering of frequency of AH in occupational groups that is explained by preferentially occupational selection. On condition of similar levels it is production the caused physical activities, the increase in a category of working conditions on strength of labor process is accompanied by growth of frequency of AH. This influence, apparently, characterizes a direct negative impact of a occupational stress on prevalence of AH. On other factors of the working environment (noise, microclimate, etc.) communications with prevalence of AH it isn’t revealed. It is shown that prevalence of AH is connected to specifics of labor activities: underground miners are characterized by rather low frequency of AH, with insignificant distinctions depending on level of influence of unfavorable occupational factors.

Conclusion. Results of research testify that besides direct adverse influence of occupational factors on prevalence of AH essential value has also occupational selection.
