[Epidemiologic features of the risk factors for arterial hypertension in social and living conditions and its relation to the labor pattern in female workers at a large industrial enterprise].
A relationship was examined between the blood pressures and the social and living conditions in 2026 female workers at a ship-repairing plant. The persons having a primary or incomplete secondary education and those periodically working at night were demonstrated to constitute an elevated blood pressure risk groups. The regression analysis indicated that the blood pressure values were significantly affected by the following variables: education, extra or overtime work, average income per household, and living conditions. The influence of social and living factors on the systolic blood pressure was 9.4% of the total number of impacts. This parameter accounted for 7.9% for diastolic blood pressure. The examination of the relationship of blood pressure to the labour pattern in the female workers demonstrated a significant increase in the mean systolic and diastolic pressures and in the incidence of systolic and diastolic arterial hypertensions in manual workers. The social and living conditions and the labour pattern can exert a substantial action on the blood pressure values in females, so they may be regarded as risk factors for arterial hypertension and borne in mind in implementing therapeutical and prophylactic measures to control arterial hypertension at the industrial enterprises.
