[Cardiovascular risk factors in the main professional groups in a machine-building plant]

The subjects of the study were members of the main professional groups in a machine-building plant, who had long been exposed to a complex of low-intensive harmful industrial factors, not exceeding maximum allowable concentrations and levels (vibration, noise, organic solvents, neuroemotional and physical tension). The study revealed a significantly higher incidence of arterial hypertension in the members of the main professional groups and its dependence on industrial and non-industrial risk factors.
