Abstract
The object of the study was 108 workers of metallurgical production, of which 61 people (observation group) were exposed to industrial noise in the course of their work. The comparison group consisted of 47 people from the number of engineering and technical workers, without exposure to harmful production factors.
The aim of the study was to determine the contribution of industrial noise to the development of arterial hypertension in workers exposed to industrial noise.
The average length of service of the observation group was 11.4±5.7 years, and the average age was 39.8±2.9 years. The average length of service in the comparison group was 13.1±5.9 years (p>0.05), and the average age was 41.8±3.2 years (p>0.05), respectively. To determine the working conditions, the results of a special assessment of working conditions were analyzed. We used data from clinical examination and ultrasound examination of endothelial dependent vasodilation of the brachial artery.
The results of the survey of employees showed that the percentage of people diagnosed with arterial hypertension in the observation and comparison groups was 6.7% and 4%, respectively (p>0.05). With 15 years or more of experience in the follow-up group, the proportion of people with arterial hypertension in the follow-up group was 24.1% compared to 8.3% in the comparison group, p=0.25).
Analysis of the communication of arterial hypertension with production factors revealed a high degree of industrial conditionality for the development of the disease in employees with more than 15 years of experience (EF 65.5%). Production noise (R2=0.52; p<0.05) makes the main contribution to the development of AH in metallurgical production workers.
