Abstract:
Objective: to study the state of health, lifestyle and working conditions of
employees of copper mining enterprises, to identify risk factors leading to the
development of general and occupational diseases, and to develop prognostic tables
for their assessment. Materials and Methods: 330 workers of the Copper Processing
Plant and the Copper Smelter working under direct exposure conditions (main group)
and 350 workers working under conditions without direct exposure (control group)
(questionnaire method). Results: The obtained 12 productions, socio-hygienic and
biomedical factors ranged from 19.77 to 49.45 in the range of influence on morbidity
rates associated with temporary disability. Thus, the larger the normative integration
(prognostic) indicator, the higher the influence of complex factors, and, conversely,
the lower the prognostic indicator, the lower the influence of factors.
