FEATURES OF ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION IN THE WORKING POPULATION

Purpose of the research was to study clinical features of arterial hypertension in the working population in Karaganda. The number of participants (500 patients): base group (250 patients) and control group (250 patients). The criteria for inclusion (age and gender characteristics, diseases/conditions and etc): age from 18 to 63 years; presence of arterial hypertension 1, 2 and 3 grades; possibility to measure the arterial pressure in dynamic; patients, who agreed to participate in the research work (the existence of informed consent). The criteria for an exception: children under 18 years, pregnant, the patient's refusal to participate in the research work. Methods of research - retrospective analysis of patients card in base and control groups at the working population of the city of Karaganda; physical examinations (anthropometrical indicators) in base and control groups. The processing and analysis of materials was conducted by using the average values and their standard errors. Significance of differences of independent sets of were estimated with parametric and nonparametric methods. In the study group compared with control were more common all the risk factors of hypertension, especially hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia in half of the cases in patients with arterial hypertension working age. We believe that the main factors of risk in arterial hypertension are hypercholesterolemia and dyslipidemia with combination in other factors, affecting mainly on the course and outcome of hypertension. Degrees of hypertension was dependent from age of patients and duration of illness, there was a trend more pronounced degree of hypertension in men than in women. In men with slavic nationality was more pronounced hypertension 1,2 and 3 degree, while in Kazakh nationality men often was observed hypertension 1, 2 degree. The degree of hypertension in the study group depending on the mental and physical labor did not observed. Hypertension 2-3 degrees was observed at workers with the night and the mixed mode of operation.
