[Hypertension risk factors in iron ore miners]. 1989

V N Kovalenko, and V T Aronov, and A M Vasilenko, and A B Gurin, and O A Volynets

An in-depth study of the prevalence of hypertonic disease among 3075 underground miners of Krivoi Rog iron-ore basin was carried out. The incidence of the disease was 11.3 +/- 0.6 percent. A correlative dependence between incidence of HD, age and length of work underground was found; there were also found differences in the incidence of HD among different occupational groups and occupations. A single-factor disperse analysis indicated that the proportion of seven identified risk factors for HD accounted for 22.0 percent. Under favourable and unfavourable combination of factors the risk of HD, as demonstrated by estimates made with the help of Bayes method, varied from 6.5 to 95.1 percent. Based on the calculated standard intensive indicators the groups of prognosis for HD were determined. Curative and health-promoting activities were conducted in sanatoria facilities among groups of special attention and unfavourable prognosis. The experience was summarized in methodical recommendations.
