The results of the examination of employees realizing the exploitation of the Severomuiski distance of railway in serving of the tunnels of the East-Siberian railway concerning studying the state of mineral bone tissue density are presented in this paper. Examined patients (66 men) were divided into two age groups — up to 50 years old. and. older than 50 years old. The double-energetic x-ray absorptiometry (osteodensitometry) was performed. The reduction in the mineral bone tissue density was found to be in both studied groups.
