HYGIENIC ANALYSIS OF MORBIDITY AMONG POTASH PLANT WORKERS BY AGE AND GENDER

Abstract

The study founded that the incidence of workers at the Potash Plant was 7.9% in Group 1, 38.1% in Group 2, 33.6% in Group 3, 19.6% in Group 4, and 0.7% in Group 5. It was founded that the incidence of workers by gender (male workers 86.0±1.32%, female workers 14.0±1.32%) differed sharply. We can see that the highest rates of morbidity in male workers are diseases of the genitourinary system (30.3%), digestive system diseases (22.4%), diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (11.7%), and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (9.8%), while in female workers, diseases of the blood and blood-forming organs and certain disorders involving the immune mechanism (24.2%), diseases of the genitourinary system (23.7%), digestive system diseases (21.5%), the incidence rate during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period (10.4%), and diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (8.6%).
