Objective. Based on the assessment of occupational and non-occupational risk factors, development of preventive measures for the reducing of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) prevalence among petrochemical workers. Material and Methods. A total of 2,634 petrochemical workers have been examined. To identify modified and unmodified risk factors for cardiovascular diseases, comprehensive hygienic and clinical laboratory studies have been carried out. Results. The obtained results have shown a higher riskfor the development of cardiovascular disease among operators as compared to metal workers for instrumentation and automation repairs. Based on the assessment of risk factors, preventive measures implemented at personal and corporative levels have been developed.

Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in the working-age population including occupational deaths. Materials and methods. We conducted general clinical and biochemical studies among copper industry workers including a complete cholesterol test, blood lead and copper tests, volumetric sphygmography with determination of the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI), and ultrasound examination of the carotid arteries with intima-media thickness measurements (IMT). Results. We established that the main cardiovascular disease risk factors among our subjects were smoking (72.2%), different types of obesity (33.3%), total cholesterol levels higher than 4.9 mmol/L (57.9%), fasting hyperglycemia (73.9%), and hypertension stages 1 and 2 (40.7%). We also observed increased arterial stiffness by CAVI in 28.7% of the subjects that became more prevalent with the rise in the total CVD risk by SCORE (p=0.00105). Conclusions. We found correlations between CAVI and blood copper levels (r=0.33), years of exposure to occupational risk factors (r=0.187), and IMT (r=0.41). This finding enabled us to recommend the use of CAVI for identification and follow-up of workers at risk of cardiovascular diseases with a simultaneous decrease in exposures to occupational risk factors.

Prevention Of Cardiovascular Disease

Current prophylactic actions prevent or significantly delay the majority of cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Various factors are interconnected and affect a person throughout his life, determining the risk of CVD. This indicates the need for preventive measures at all stages of life and even before birth. The beneficial effects of CVD prevention are realized through various genetic, epigenetic and metabolic mechanisms. Due to the fact that many risk factors for CVD have a cumulative effect, the introduction of preventive measures from the earliest life stages will be most effective. The purpose of the article is to consider various aspects of CVD prevention in the preconceptional, prenatal and infant periods.

In areas where Histoplasma is endemic in the environment, occupations involving activities exposing workers to soil that contains bird or bat droppings may pose a risk for histoplasmosis. Occupational exposures are frequently implicated in histoplasmosis outbreaks. In this paper, we review the literature on occupationally acquired histoplasmosis. We describe the epidemiology, occupational risk factors, and prevention measures according to the hierarchy of controls.
