title: [Hygienic evaluation of the work capacity of workers retiring from chemical nitrogen production plants].
abstract: The workers engaged in modern chemical nitrogen production before their retirement on the privileged basis because of noxious working conditions experienced the state of stress and overstress of the regulatory mechanisms, decrease of muscular and mental working capacity both at the initial stage and during the work shift, increase of chronic morbidity and temporary disability rates. These indicators were not identical in groups with different working conditions and sex structure. Among machine operators the major part of males before retirement compared to females maintained a more satisfactory level of work capacity. Disease rates and the degree of decrease of functional body capacities were higher in male metal workers in comparison with machine operators.
