[Risk factors of arterial hypertension in patients with vibrational disease in Moscow region].

The article covers results of study that involved 204 male patients of occupational pathology department over recent 6 years, with diagnosed vibration disease. 103 of the examinees (50,5%) had vibration disease combined with arterial hypertension. Parameters of the study were age, occupation, length of exposure to vibration, level of the vibration, endogenous risk factors according to literature data (body build index, heart rate, functional changes index, glomerular filtration rate, creatinine level, cholesterol level, HDL and LDL levels, triglycerids levels, WBC and RBC counts). No reliable correlation was seen between arterial hypertension and vibration jeopardy of the occupation, vibration level at workplace, length of exposure to vibration. Differences between groups were defined in endogenous
