[Occupational morbidity in medical workers of the Primorye Territory].
The labor of medical workers is characterized by a lot of harmful and dangerous factors; females account for more than 80% of medical workers. The rise in the incidence of recorded occupational diseases is observed in the pre-pension period as this category of medical workers have to conceal their morbidity in order to preserve their job until they can get pension. By taking into account the results of in-depth assessment of the working conditions and health status of female medical workers, it can be said that the incidence rates of occupational diseases in the Primorye Territory are contrary to fact: they should be much higher as morbidity with temporary disablement and occupational morbidity exceed the average rates and clearly tended to increase.
