Abstract

On the basis of updated data from 82 subjects of the Russian Federation multivariate analysis of occupational diseases of agricultural workers was implemented. It is established that in unhealthy work conditions are characteristic for 30% of workers in the agricultural sector. In the enterprises of agriculture, the percentage of workplaces not meeting sanitary hygienic standards made up to 35%. The high etiologic pathogenic relationship between nosological form of disease and working conditions in the profession is established. Most often, the occupational pathology was developed in agricultural workers in case of conditions of physical overload (37.2%), effecting of physical factors (26.8%) and contact with infected animals (14.6%). In nosological structure of accumulated occupational diseases the first place took radiculopathy of cervical and lumbar sacral levels (23%), the second - vibration disease (15.3%), followed by brucellosis (14.6%), the fourth - neuro-sensory deafness (11.5%). The regions of the Russian Federation are characterized by pronounced heterogeneity both related to general level of registered occupational diseases and its nosological spectrum. In the whole, in Russia during 2011-2015 persistent trend of decreasing of occupational diseases morbidity of agricultural workers was marked.
