STATE OF MINERAL BONE TISSUE DENSITY IN EMPLOYEES ATTENDING TO SEVEROMUISKI TUNNEL
Abstract
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.
