Abstract

A study was performed of vibration disease prevalence and morbidity dynamics for 10 years at the enterprises of the RSFSR Ministry of Machine-Building Industry. The results of the study proved that the major VD prevalence was found in automobile, heavy and energy machinery industries, machine-tool and agriculture machinery industry (80%). With regard to the morbidity rate and duration of work/D morbidity correlation, the contributors identified 8 major VD-risk professions, including those for female workers, an earlier development of the disease being more characteristic of females in some professional groups. It was established that some are less/or more liable to VD in comparison with others of the same professional group, which can be accounted for by different individual factors that influence the latent development of the disease. The revealed differences can determine the most promising techniques in VD prevention at machine-engineering plants.
