[Work and health state of working population in Moscow].

The article shows changes in employed population of Moscow over a period of economic changes, in employment structure by economicbranches withsubsequent reduction of individuals employed in industrial branches. Based on analysis of health parameters of employed population according to official statistics, the authors demonstrated trends in those parameters change, with the accent that those changes are less negative in Moscow than generally in Russia.

[Personnel and bed supplies for Occupational Diseases Centers in Russian Federation].

The author presents calculations of required quantities of beds and staffers for Occupational Diseases Centers. Those calculations are based on scientific norms concerning activities of doctors in the Centers and number of staffers exposed to work conditions that do not meet sanitary and hygienic regulations on Russian Federation territory. Evidence is that most territories face actual staffers and beds numbers much lower than quantities necessary for effective occupational medical care.

[The organization of automated information systems on occupational diseases and of the hygienic monitoring of working conditions].

Creation of automated database "Archive of occupational diseases clinic" is an important task of informational support for occupational pathology centers. Constructing the database, the authors designed an "Accounting chart of patient with occupational disease for diagnostic survey in occupational pathology center" and a "Diagnosis of occupational disease" code book adjusted to X ICD with instruction. Analysis of the information obtained forms a basis for forecasting the course of pathologic process, for justifying a complex of treatment and prophylaxis.

[Health status of the population as a criterion in the assessment of the quality of life].

The paper analyzes the present health status of the population, including mortality of able-bodied individuals, examines the changes in age-specific mortality rates. This also gives the results of studies into the causes of increased deaths from various unfavourable exposures to occupational, environmental, socioeconomic and other factors. The paper also presents epidemiological cohort surveys of workers exposed to lead and outlines the objectives and tasks of the section "Environmental Epidemiology" of the Environmental Control Project.

[Health status of workers in the city of Moscow and ways of its improvement].

The article shows that negative tendencies in occupational health in Moscow are more marked than in other regions and traced mostly to worse socioeconomic situation, drastic decrease in living standards and quality of life, unsatisfactory medical care, abandoned priority of health care for industrial workers, neglected occupational prophylaxis. Obligatory precursors for better occupational health should include policy aimed to improve quality of life and working environment, to provide availability and high quality of medical care (including industrial medical service). That policy should be a part of longstanding programs for health preservation, that is guaranteed by Russian Constitution and Laws on health care and industrial regulations. Better public health is not a function of Health Ministry solely.

[Prognostication of disability caused by occupational diseases].

The article shows that prophylaxis of occupational disability depends on many official departments. Priority in prophylaxis of occupational disability should include safe work conditions. Better medical prophylaxis of occupational diseases necessitates creation of occupational medical service in Russia. Examination of ability to work and rational placement of the disabled people could be effectively performed with establishment of special commissions including medical experts and occupational officials. Planning, forecasting and control of disability prophylaxis require objective and complete information on variety of subjects--creation of universal informational service based on up-to-date computers. That could consider all influencing factors and apply mathematical models to forecasting of primary occupational disability and contingent of the disabled people.

Disability Evaluation↗

[The methodological characteristics of calculating the prevented economic loss from disability resulting from occupational diseases in assessing the activities of occupational pathology centers].

Evaluation of prevented economic detriment from the occupational disablement can be used for estimating the economic efficiency of occupational centre activities. Decreased disability pensions as a main item of expenses must be taken into account in evaluation of prevented economic detriment due to the diminished disablement. Regional occupational pathology centre activities aimed at the early diagnosis of complications-free occupational diseases, complete clinical screening, active treatment and control of the adequate employment give a great social and economic effect.
