[Morbidity with temporary disability among workers in the main professions at the machine-building plant]

The article contains the results of a profound analysis of morbidity with temporary disability among the workers of a machine-building plant's main shops. According to Dr E. L. Notkin's classification, the temporary disability indices were 'extremely high', whereas in the group of 'noise-affected' workers, the major morbidity was presented by acute respiratory and cardiovascular cases. A correlation was established between auditory pathology++ and hypertension disease, and on the other hand, between the chronic respiratory pathology level and the number of acute respiratory cases. A relation was traced between neurosensory++ hypoacusis and cardiovascular diseases.
