PREVENTION OF CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES IN TECHNICIANS OF PETROCHEMICAL PRODUCTION PLANTS
Mortality from diseases of the circulatory system in Russia are among the highest in the world. According to official statistics, about 50% of Russians die in working age.Comprehensive exposure to the harmful factors of working environment and labor process, exceeding hygienic standards, as well as non-production factors influence the development of cardiovascular disease in technicians. Hypertension dominates in the structure of cardiovascular pathology. Assessment of risks of cardiovascular complications according to the SCORE system in the group of technicians identified an increased risk in 29 % and a high risk in 42% of the surveyed workers.On the basis of research we developed a complex of preventive measures aimed at reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The program will contribute to the prevention of cardiovascular disease and optimization of health outcomes among workers of petrochemical industries.
