Abstract
In order to detect the metabolic syndrome risk factors in employees of an oil production enterprise causing development of the coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, Diabetes type 2 and increased risk of developing cardiovascular complications, there has been undertaken a comparative cross-sectional screening study. All the workers (n = 200) were examined by a cardiologist, body mass index, blood pressure, blood lipids and blood aromatics were assessed. There has been established significant incidence of arterial hypertension (31.4 %), dyslipidemia (61.0 %) and overweight (68.0 %) in the employees working in conditions of exposure to aromatic hydrocarbons. There have been defined relationships of aromatic hydrocarbons with dyslipidemia (р < 0.05). The results of the cardiovascular risk assessment have shown, that it was necessary to consider impact of aromatic hydrocarbons on development of the metabolic syndrome in the workers as a predictor of cardiovascular pathology.
