Objective: to evaluate the behavioral risk factors of the workers of the primary oil refining workshop with the aim of using them as a tool for substantiating management decisions and forming vectors of preventive measures.Materials and methods: the method of active survey investigated the prevalence of behavioral risk factors among operators in two age groups (20 – 35 and 36 – 60 years old).Results: the main vectors of behavioral risks for operators of different age groups were established: lack of motor activity, smoking, low medical activity, low perception of behavioral risks. Violations of lifestyle are predominantly combined (violations by 2 – 4 indicators). For older operators are more characterized by low motor and medical activity, disturbances in diet, an overestimation of the degree of influence of environmental and occupational factors on health when the significance of individual behavior is underestimated.Conclusions: Social policy at the enterprise should take into account the main vectors of behavioral risks, lower motivation and the implementation of a healthy style of behavior typical of older workers.

Questionnaire Method

We conducted a study among 7–11th grades students of secondary schools in Ekaterinburg by questionnaire method. The purpose was to study the lifestyle, hygienic literacy level and students competence in their own lifestyle assessment. The study group consisted of 5 984 students aged 12–18 years (2 704 boys, 3 280 girls). A high prevalence of behavioral risk factors among schoolchildren has been established: lack of sleep, low physical activity, high duration of self-preparation, reduced outdoor exposure, consumption of psychoactive substances and psychological discomfort. Schoolchildren are characterized by a low level of medical activity and hygienic literacy, lack of skills for self-assessment of lifestyle, and also low awareness of consumption consequences of alcohol, tobacco and narcotic active substances; conjugation between the specified problems and lifestyle of pupils is established. The prevalence of studied risk factors among girls is higher than among boys, the level of hygienic literacy and medical activity is also higher, but the awareness of the consequences of psychoactive substances consumption is lower. With age, the prevalence of most of the studied behavioral risk factors increases, the level of medical activity of school children decreases, but their ability to correctly interpret their lifestyle increases. It is necessary to improve school education programs aimed at preserving and promoting the students health, prevention of risky behaviors and the formation of healthy and safe lifestyle skills, increasing their effectiveness on the basis of a psychosocial approach that combines awareness-raising, the formation of values and skills.

The formation of a healthy lifestyle and a healthy lifestyle in the work of various activities, developing a program that includes appropriate measures to correct the functional state of employees of nervous and emotional labor, is currently one of the essential areas of occupational health. The study aims to assess the prevalence of behavioral risk factors for health disorders and the effectiveness of measures to correct overstrain in pedagogical and medical workers, depending on the personal level of anxiety. The researchers conducted comprehensive physiological and hygienic studies. We described behavioral risk factors, awareness of health-saving issues based on a questionnaire (346 teachers), a professional graphical assessment of the intensity of efforts. Psychophysical studies help to study the states of various functions of the central nervous system and the cardiovascular system, psychological testing, and general physical performance (GPP) according to the RWC170 test when evaluating the implemented model of motor activity and assess the effectiveness of relaxation in the shungite room. We performed static processing of the data obtained using statistical programs EpiInfo 3.5.2., Statistica 10, Microsoft Excel 2010 using adequate methods of statistical analysis. The study of the prevalence of the factors risky cheek of life for the health of teachers revealed insufficient physical activity (61.1% (95% CI 54.7-67.2)), inadequate sleep duration (46.1% (95% CI 40.0-52.4)), eating disorders (16.2% (95% CI 11.9-21.5)) tobacco smoking (15.8% (95% CI 11.5-20.9)). The developed and implemented regime, which increases the volume of motor activity to 8-9 hours a week instead of 3-4 hours, contributed to an increase in resistance to stress effects, a decrease in the percentage of identified teachers with a low level of physical fitness. A high degree of nervous and emotional tension in the work of general practitioners, the possibility of infection with COVID-19 leads to the formation of a high level of anxiety in a significant part (63.7-72.2%) of medical workers, which indicates the purposefulness of a psychological correction measure. The conducted production studies have shown the usefulness of using in programs for correcting the functional conformity of pedagogical and medical workers, an increase in motor activity using physical culture and sports, and relaxation in the shungite room.

The Impact

Background. Digestive diseases, the third leading cause of death in Romania (4.9% of total deaths in 2010), are responsible for the annual loss of about 77 persons/100,000 population in 2009-2010, increasing compared to 2005. The large share these diseases have in pathology, high potential disabling of some of them, their interactions with environmental factors and food require their knowledge in early stages, treatment and prevention of complications. Aims. Aim of this study are to estimate the particularities of nutrition and the health of people with diseases of the digestive system, highlighting behavioral risk factors and preventive measures development in Cluj County. Methods. There were established two study groups, each made up of 255 people, including 1st lot that includes people taking one of the Cluj County digestive diseases known, and the 2nd lot that is being made of the population compared to the same county that have not been diagnosed diseases of the digestive tract. Results. In the study there were identified and prioritized key digestive disorders diagnosed in the group of subjects who are established in a particular period in Gastroenterology Clinic of Cluj Napoca. They determine relations between morbidity by diseases of the digestive and behavioral risk factors and they were developing preventive measures determining the impact of behavioral risk factors in the onset and development of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Conclusions. 1. In the conducted study found that digestive pathology had a wide representation among the investigated subjects, including all segments of the digestive tract. 2. At all digestive pathologies studied could not detect a single factor, each being able pathology could be assigned several factors (food, behavioral, environmental etc.). 3. Food factor can be considered as the predominant factor in the onset, maintenance or aggravation of digestive pathologies studied. 4. In the conducted study it was established as risk factors (along with the food) also smoking, alcohol consumption, a family history and even some vitamin deficiencies. 5. Extended studied digestive pathology is found distributed in proportions relative to the geographic areas studied area of Cluj County. On the regions, distribution percentages are so close that differences are considered unsignificant (North East – 22%, 23% – Northwest, Southwest - 29% and Southeast - 26%).

Gender And Age Differences

Abstract Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) besides cancer are the most serious threat to the health and life of the population of both developed and developing countries. The aim of the study was to know the gender and age differences with anthropometric CVD risk factors among Nepalese adults of Dharan Municipality. Materials and Methods: A population based cross-sectional study was conducted using a pretested self-administered structured questionnaire on anthropometric parameters which can affect CVD. A systematic random sampling technique was applied to cover the estimated 280 households with 900 adult population. The parameters of anthropometric risk factors for cardiovascular diseases were Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Hip Ratio (WHR) and Body Fat Percentage (BFP). The result was expressed as mean ± SD. Independent student t test and ANOVA were applied to find out the gender and age differences respectively. “P” value of < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance. Results: The mean and SD of BMI, WHR and BFP were found to be 24.17±4.13, 1.01±2.83 and 26.91±7.15 respectively. The gender differences of BFP were found to be statistically significant, whereas for BMI and WHR were not significant (p>0.05). The age differences in BMI and BFP were statistically significant (<0.05) whereas for WHR was not found to be significant (p>0.05). The signiicant positive correlations were found among these parameters (p< 0.01). Conclusion:The results of this study emphasize the need for a comprehensive study (both lipid and anthropometric) for providing baseline data to prevent CVD in eastern Nepal.
