Гликемичен статус на работещи в различни икономически сектори
Glycemic Status of Workers in Different Economic Sectors

Summary/Abstract: The project EPSILON - European Partnerships for Prevention and Social Innovations for Physicians through Trainings and Science, funded under the Operational Program “Human Resources Development”, allowed studying 150 employees from two age groups in four sectors of the economy (construction, clothing, hairdressing and cosmetics, and healthcare). The aim of the study is to seek links between working conditions and health status of workers at the beginning and at the end of their careers. The incidence of diabetes increases with age, in some cases work environment may adversely affect and increase the risk. Fasting blood glucose abnormalities were analyzed. 75% of the participants were without deviations, 10% experienced impaired fasting blood glucose, and 12.7 % had fasting blood glucose values for diabetes mellitus exceeding 7.0 mmol / l, requiring re-testing (2.3% in the young and 16.8% at the age over 55 years). The results suggest that a number of unfavorable factors related to living conditions have had their impact on workers over the years, and some of them may be of a professional nature.
