Abstract
The effect of adverse behavioral factors on development of chronic bronchopulmonary diseases (CBPD) has been studied in 841 workers engaged in the underground mining of coppernickel ore. The study has shown that the most pronounced negative impact was caused by smoking. It manifested itself both in a decrease in the number of healthy individuals and in an increased risk of chronic bronchitis and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease progress. Excessive alcohol consumption, physical inactivity and obesity did not significantly affect the CBPD risk. However when combined with smoking, they heightened its negative pneumotropic action. It has been concluded that early detection and management of modifiable CBPD non-productive risk factors were an effective way to improve respiratory health of the Kola North miners.
