On gender-specific features of bronchopulmonary diseases in copper-nickel industry workers
Abstract. The aim of the study is to examine gender-specific risk factors, structures, and the prevalence of chronic bronchopulmonary diseases (CBPD) in 595 copper-nickel industry workers in the Kola North. The study has revealed lower rates of respiratory health in men than in women, it is manifested in a smaller number of healthy subjects (p < 0.001), larger numbers of people at risk of CBPD (p < 0.001) and patients with chronic bronchitis (p < 0.001). The reason for this are more unhealthy working conditions (exposure to aerosols of nickel and copper compounds, sulfur dioxide, sulfuric acid) and the impact of non-occupational factors (higher exposure to tobacco smoke and higher degree of alcohol abuse). Standardizing the effect of a combination of risk factors for bronchopulmonary pathology has made it possible to demonstrate the absence of their gender-specificity among workers engaged in production of copper.
