Abstract

Abstract. The aim of the study was to compare the structure of morbidity revealed by the results of preventive medical examination with the structure of morbidity revealed by the results professional examination. Group 1 included 146 999 men aged 20-60, who underwent professional examination, group 2 - 424 770 men aged 21-60 who had undergone preventive medical examinations. In both groups, diseases of the circulatory system are in first place in terms of detection (group 1 – 24,37%, 2 – 41,41%). In second place in the course of preventive medical examinations are diseases of the endocrine system, nutritional disorders and metabolic disorders (16,94%), and in case of professional examination - diseases of the eye and its adnexa (15,46%). The third place in the course of professional examination is - diseases of the respiratory system (14,65%), with preventive medical examinations - diseases of the digestive system (9.83%). Since the diseases of the musculoskeletal system are not separately taken into account during the clinical examination, they are classified in the category «Other diseases». However, it should be noted that during the professional examination, this group of diseases is detected in 21% of cases. Taking into account the figures obtained for the detection of diseases of the musculoskeletal system, it seems important to focus the attention of occupational medicine specialists on this in order to develop and introduce measures to improve the health of the musculoskeletal system into corporate programs. These differences are associated with a different volume of research conducted for different types of medical examinations, as well as with the fact that a number of diseases of the circulatory system and the endocrine system are a contraindication for employment in contact with harmful labor factors. A higher level of detection of infectious pathology and neoplasms in case of professional examination requires a more thorough analysis.
