[Characteristics of the blood lipoprotein spectrum in truck drivers from the rural Northern Caucasus areas].
Studies were performed of the blood lipoprotein spectrum in 20-59-year-old truck-drivers working in Northern Caucasus rural areas, depending on the age, duration of work in the profession and nationality, in comparison with male workers of other professions in the same areas. It was established that, in indigenous male workers of other than truck-driver's profession, the average levels of different cholesterol lipoproteids were lower than in other ethnic groups, whereas the hypoalfacholesterolemia occurrence was two-fold. In truck-drivers of both indigenous and non-indigenous groups, the lipoprotein spectrum age-related changes were similar. In the non-indigenous drivers' group, hypercholesterolemia was highly prevalent, and hyperalfacholesterolemia was less prevalent than in other professional groups. Also, IHD cases were more characteristic of the indigenous drivers' group. The data obtained witnessed in favour of a differentiated approach in the planning of preventive activities with due account of the population's ethnic and occupational characteristics.
