[Workers' health and various approaches to its quantitative evaluation].
A new approach to the assessment of health status of the working people is proposed. Qualitative determinations of the "cost" of body adaptation to occupational and nonoccupational factors could be used as a health standard. The adaptation "cost" was calculated by means of integral indicators, characterizing body system response to human vital activity factors. Some approaches to the development of the "alphabet" of human functional states formed during the process of adaptation to vital activity factors. The proposed methods of assessing health levels can be used in the development of automated systems for mass prenosologic examinations and dispensarization of the population and also in workers' health management.
