Prerequisites for the development of forecasting system of cerebrovascular diseases development in the patients with vibration disease caused by the actions of the whole-body vibration in the post-exposure period.
Abstract
The health of the working population is an important characteristic of the economic and social state of the country. Occupational diseases according to WHO is the cause of 1.7 million deaths in the world. The third place in the structure of occupational morbidity is occupied by vibration-noise pathology (5-18%). In this group, cases of vibration disease (VD) make up 60-70%. In the structure of diseases of the circulatory system (DCS) among the adult population, cerebrovascular diseases (CVD) rank third after hypertension and coronary heart disease and make up 16.8%. Death rate from CVD takes the 4th place in the world. To develop a forecast for the emergence of CVD in patients with VD caused by whole-body vibration, we analyzed a number of anthropometric and physiological indicators. There was performed a profound in patient examination of 179 patients with VD (149 workers of mining enterprise with surface mining operations with VD caused by whole-body vibration without CVD and 30 patients with diagnosed CVD in addition to CVD). The diagnostic value of individual anthropometric indicators and indicators of systemic hemodynamics (arterial pressure) in VD caused by whole-body vibration and CVD in these patients was proved. Increased body weight with fat distribution by the abdominal type increases the risk of early VD and CVD occurrence. The regularity of dependence of arterial hypertension onset (increase of blood pressure above the level of 140/86 mm Hg) with the duration of the harmful effect of vibration was determined. At the same time, the share of workers with optimal blood pressure figures decreases with increasing duration of the action of the whole-body vibration. Thus, the metabolic and blood pressure indicators can be used to further construct predictive models for the development of CVD in patients with VD caused by whole-body vibration.
