title: [Occupational-social influence in the course of cholelithiasis].
abstract: The aim of the study was to examine the relationship between the work load, evaluated by the occupational activity, and the incidence of cholelithiasis. In total 372 subjects (169 cholelithiasis patients examined using USG, and 203 controls), hospitalised in 1993 in the Department of Gastroenterology, Regional Hospital, Białystok, completed the questionnaire. Attention was also given to age, sex, permanent residence, education and physical activities after work. A moderate physical effort, both occupational and non-occupational, seemed to reduce the risk of cholelithasis.
