[Characteristics of morbidity among sailors]

A set of factors of ship's environment greatly affected the onset of diseases in sailors. By means of individual selective case sample it was found out that temporary disability rates in sailors were lower compared to the analogous maritime workers. There were derived prognostic regression equations of the number of work-loss days according to sailors' occupation, age and labour intensity. Economic effect of the realized measures and reduction of temporary disability rates annually constituted 34 rb per person.
