The relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and physical activity (PA) has become an increasingly prominent area of research. However, research specifically exploring this relationship, especially in developing countries, is limited. This literature review seeks to identify and analyze the socioeconomic factors that influence participation in physical activity. A comprehensive search was conducted using the ScienceDirect and PubMed databases, adhering to PRISMA guidelines to ensure data reliability and accuracy. The search strategy involved the use of keyword combinations such as: ("socioeconomics OR socioeconomic status" AND "physical activity OR sport activity" AND "sport AND social inequality"). The initial search yielded 3,786 publications, which were narrowed down to 10 articles after applying exclusion criteria. The review revealed that individuals with higher SES typically have better access to sports facilities and are more likely to engage in organized physical activities. Conversely, those from lower SES backgrounds face barriers such as financial constraints, limited access to facilities, and less free time. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the socioeconomic divide in sports participation, particularly in developing countries. In conclusion, addressing disparities in physical activity participation requires a multidimensional approach, including public policy interventions, improved access to sports facilities, and community education. This review underscores the need for a more inclusive strategy to promote physical activity and ensure equitable health benefits across all socioeconomic groups.

Authors: Malkova Natalia Yu. , Petrova Milena D.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Laser radiation is the youngest production factor, but not the most harmless. The rapid development of modern laser technologies and their introduction into various fields of science and technology has allowed lasers entering widely into everyday human life, as well as into the sphere of culture, fine arts, and the show industry. Thus, the development of a unified algorithm for calculating the maximum permissible levels (MPL) of laser radiation is becoming particularly relevant.
The purpose of this work is to assess the subjective feelings of persons exposed to laser radiation at levels not exceeding the maximum permissible levels and clarify the methodology for calculating acceptable levels of laser radiation.
Materials and methods. Graphical modelling was used to develop an algorithm for calculating the MPL. To assess the subjective perception of laser radiation, a survey of 20–25 years five hundred eighteen people was used according to a specially designed questionnaire.
Results. Exposure to laser radiation at levels not exceeding the MPL caused unpleasant sensations in the eyes of the participants of the show, temporary violation of colour perception, temporary blindness, headache. An algorithm for calculating the MPL of laser radiation has been developed, consisting of six stages, which allows optimizing the computational component of laser safety assessment in the implementation of State sanitary and Epidemiological supervision and control.
Limitations. The age range of the study participants is 20–25 years old.
Conclusion. It is proposed to revise the standards of MPL for the population based on the temporary effects of radiation. This will minimize the negative impact on the organ of vision in terms of reversible changes and qualitatively improve the hygienic assessment of laser radiation. The developed algorithm for calculating the permissible levels of laser radiation will help minimize errors and reduce the time spent by specialists when assessing the safety of exposure to laser radiation on the body.

Authors: Borisova Daria S. , Chashchin Valerii P. , Kovshov Aleksandr A. , Nikanov Alexander N.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Preserving public health in the cold climate regions of the Russian Federation continues to be a significant challenge. Concerns arise because intense production activities in the Murmansk region are associated with a high prevalence of reproduction losses in working females. The apatite and nepheline mining and chemical complex occupies one of the leading places in terms of the number of workers in the industry of the Murmansk region. The share of women employed in these industries exceeds 40% of the total number of workers. Of these, up to 23% of women are employed in adverse and dangerous working conditions.
The purpose of the work. To study working conditions and the state of reproductive health in female workers in the mining and processing industrial complex, as well as the share of the contribution of adverse occupational factors to reproductive health, develop preventive measures aimed at preserving reproductive health and reducing reproductive losses of women employed in the mining and chemical industry.
Materials and methods. We performed an in-depth medical examination on eight hundred ninety five female workers who had been employed at the mining and processing complex for at least one year. We conducted a questionnaire survey of 818 female workers who performed labour operations at ore processing plants and also analyzed 611 cards of those females from antenatal clinics and obstetric institutions. As we accepted statistical processing methods, we used a personal computer industry showed the intense occupational exposure to characterize many types of labour processes in this industry, including the airborne particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, phenol, sulfur dioxide, and sulfuric acid. Beneficiation processes of apatite-nepheline ores can be hazardous to reproductive health, increasing the risks of gynecological diseases and contributing to pregnancy complications and perinatal outcomes.
Limitations. The period of the study is from 2018 to 2022.
Conclusion. To solve one of the main national security problems related to the fast depopulation of the Arctic regions, besides socio-economic measures to preserve the population and enhance the total fertility rate, it is necessary to improve the regulations governing the protection of reproductive health in female workers exposed to occupational hazards in the workplaces at the beneficiation of the processes of apatite-nepheline ores.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. Preserving the health of qualified workers of older age groups is especially important under conditions of exposure to occupational hazards.
The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of occupational hazards on the development of occupational and somatic diseases among workers of various age groups in the main occupations of mechanical engineering.
Materials and methods. The study tested the results of hygienic research at workplaces of an enterprise in the power engineering industry in the manufacture of welded metal structures. We assessed the health status in workers based on the results of an in-depth medical examination and ultrasound examination of the vessels of the upper extremities with assessment of blood flow indices. Using a survey method, data were obtained on assessing the influence of production factors on the health status in workers.
Results. The working conditions in the main occupational workers groups were assessed as harmful grades 1–3, the priority occupational hazards were: increased noise, and at the workplaces of electric gas workers there were also fibrogenic aerosols, chemical substances, and heavy physical work. Electric and gas welders and boilermakers work in the most unfavourable conditions, about 30% of whom continue to work after reaching retirement age. We have established a significant gain in the incidence of arterial hypertension and sensorineural hearing loss among workers over 40 years of age and an increase in the prevalence of all chronic diseases in the age group over 60 years.
Limitations. The study is limited by the number of workers examined and the lack of ability to assess the health status of the studied contingent of workers over time.
Conclusion. In conditions of exposure to elevated noise and other occupational hazards, there is an enhancement in the prevalence of work-related and somatic diseases in workers over 40 years of age. With advancing age, the rise in the vascular resistance index is observed, however, the first signs of peripheral blood flow disturbance are often recorded at a young age. In this regard, it is necessary to introduce methods of early diagnosis and prevention of occupational and work-related pathology.

Authors: Shevchenko Oxana I. , Lakhman Oleg L.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The impact of occupational stressors leaves negative consequences on the physiological and mental health in workers in socially significant occupations. Studying the neurophysiological characteristics of stress response in nurses will make it possible to predict the risks of developing maladaptive states that reduce the quality of life and the effectiveness of professional activity.
The aim of the study is to identify the features of cerebral energy metabolism (CEM) and its adaptive reactivity in medical professionals to increase individual resistance to stress.
Materials and methods. Features of cerebral energy metabolism were studied using the method of neuroenergy mapping (NEC), recording the constant potential level (CPL). The study involved thirty five female specialists with secondary medical education.
Results. In medical workers elevated CPL values were established in 88.6% of cases. Accordingly, in 8.6% and 2.8% of cases there was a reduced and normal level of cerebral energy metabolism (CEM). An increase in SPP indices in the central Fpz-Cz (–4.3 (–10.7–3.3) mV) and parietal Fpz-Pz (–5.4 (–11.4–1.1) mV) leads was accompanied by decrease in the frontal abduction. More than 84% of those examined have a rigid response to physical and emotional stress. The response of restoration of the central nervous system in the post-hyperventilation period was of a rigid nature and was observed in 57% of cases, characterizing a decrease in neurovegetative adaptive responses.
Limitations. The study is limited by the sample of one professional group – 35 nurses, the lack of a comparison group and the lack of clinical characteristics of those examined.
Conclusion. In medical workers, impaired adaptation to stress is confirmed by the rigidity of the CPL index in response to physical and emotional stress, as well as the lack of restoration of the CPL to its background value in the post-hyperventilation period.

Introduction. Occupational sensorineural hearing loss (OSNHL) is a gradual bilateral hearing loss developing over several years as a result of exposure to constant or non-constant noise (mainly high-frequency) at the workplace as one of the main causes in etiology, researchers name a violation of blood supply and vascular stenosis. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the indices of venous dyscirculation under the influence of industrial noise at the early stages of the development of OSNHL.
Materials and methods. Twenty two male patients who have been working in conditions exceeding the maximum permissible noise levels for more than 5 years were examined, and the comparison group included 29 healthy male volunteers from 27 to 55 years old who do not work in the production sector. All the subjects were examined by an otorhinolaryngologist, a neurologist, and a therapist. Audiometry was performed on two axes for everyone. Air and bone conduction were performed separately for each ear. All patients underwent a triplex scan of the arteries and veins of the neck and brain in the supine and standing positions.
Results. In comparison with the control group of healthy volunteers who did not work in industrial noise conditions, workers in noise occupations had a significant increase in blood flow, which averaged 25.2 cm/sec. When measuring the diameters of the vertebral veins, a tendency to vasodilation was revealed.
Limitations. The limitation was the small sample size, due to the low patient turnover at the preclinical stage.
Conclusion. The complex effect of noise on the body leads to changes in the wall of the venous network, a violation of venous outflow and can manifest itself not only with clinical complaints, but also in the form of episodic dizziness, cephalgia, which in turn can worsen the course of the development of OSNHL. It is necessary to perform ultrasound dopplerography of the neck veins for all workers of noise occupations at the preclinical stage to assess the risk of OSNHL occurrence.

Authors: Martynova Alla A. , Pryanichnikov Sergey V.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. The functional state and adaptive potential in workers employed at mining enterprises in the Arctic territories are influenced both harmful environmental factors and specific climatic conditions, age and work experience in contact with harmful working conditions. Assessing the impact of work experience on the health in employees to reduce occupational risks and prospects for preserving and strengthening the health of workers at mining enterprises remains an extremely relevant and timely task.
Materials and methods. A cross-sectional study of workers was based on a mining and processing plant for the extraction of loparite ore in the Murmansk region. Two hundred one male employee participated in the study. Cardiohemodynamic and somatometric indices were evaluated, on the basis of which integrative indices for assessing functional changes were calculated. The subjects were ranked into groups by work time and age.
Results. The analysis of somatometric indicеs, depending on work experience, revealed significant intergroup differences in body mass index, index of physical changes, blood pressure and heart rate. The analysis of heart rate variability showed that with an increase in work experience, there is a unidirectional, negative change in time indices and the wave structure of the heart rhythm towards suppressing the activity of the autonomous regulation circuit with an increased contribution of sympathetic influences on the heart rate.
Limitations. Difficult access to medical information and employees’ fears of participating in the study due to fear of dismissal for health reasons.
Conclusion. With an increase in work experience, negative changes in the functional state of the body of mining workers in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are comprehensively manifested (overweight, an increase in the index of functional changes, an increase in blood pressure). The increased influence of sympathetic influences on the heart rhythm, with the suppression of self-regulation processes, is reflected in the tension of regulatory mechanisms leading to a decrease in adaptive potential and the development of a premorbid state.
Hygienic assessment of the protective properties of personal hand protection equipment during vibration testing
Authors: Smirnov Vladimir V.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. In industrial environments, at the workplaces of hand tool operators, it is not always possible to completely eliminate increased levels of vibration exposure. The power and speed characteristics of modern hand-held machines are constantly increasing. The impact of local vibration on a person has a negative effect on his body. When working with hand tools, personal protective equipment is used. The purpose of personal hand protection against vibration is to reduce the vibration impact on a person.
Materials and methods. Bench tests were carried out on hand protection products consisting of damping materials of various shapes and locations in the product. The vibration sensor was installed and fastened in places where the operator’s hands came into contact with vibration and on the forearm. The effectiveness of protection was determined by the difference in measurement levels.
Results. During the tests, vibration levels were recorded on the handle of the vibration stand, the palmar surface, the fingers, and the operator’s forearm. In the low-frequency region of the spectrum, vibration attenuation is minimal, and as the frequency range increases, the attenuation increases. Across all areas of the spectrum, performance levels for mittens are higher than for gloves. In places where the fingers come into contact with vibration, the efficiency is less than when in contact with the hand, and in the low-frequency region of the spectrum a negative efficiency of up to 0.8 dB is noted. Vibration measurements on the operator’s forearm showed vibration levels in the forearm to be lower than in the hand.
Limitations. The study was conducted over a period of one year, in laboratory conditions, and was limited to two thousand measurements.
Conclusion. Hygienic assessment of the effectiveness of the protective properties of personal protective equipment for hands was carried out in accordance with developed laboratory test methods when installing and securing a vibration sensor on the handle, hand, and forearm of the operator. Determining the effectiveness of the entire product model should be considered when designing and manufacturing new hand protection against vibration.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. Despite the relatively low average annual mortality rate, the increased incidence of cancer in the population of the Omsk region, together with indicators of the quality of oncological care, indicate a tense epidemiological situation.
The purpose of the study is to determine priority environments and routes of exposure to chemicals in the formation of long-term carcinogenic risks in the city of Omsk.
Materials and methods. There were used results of environmental and social-hygienic monitoring of habitat objects for the period 2017–2022. To assess the cumulative carcinogenic risk, atmospheric air, drinking tap water, open water, soil, food products, and 3 routes of exposure were taken into account: inhalation, oral and cutaneous. The assessment of carcinogenic risks was carried out in accordance with Guideline R 2.1.10.3968–23, taking into account the severity coefficient of malignant neoplasms.
Results. The carcinogenic risk to the health of the population of the city of Omsk as a result of multi–environmenal and multi-route exposure to chemicals was assessed as alarming (high in an the engraved script). The structure of contributions to the cumulative carcinogenic risk: drinking water – 63.3%, atmospheric air – 33.1%, food products – 3.3 %, other environments less than 0.5%. The main route of entry of chemical carcinogens is inhalation (77.4%). Alarming carcinogenic risks were formed through the inhalation route of chloroform from drinking water; chromium VI, formaldehyde, benzene, and soot from atmospheric air. Among the target organs of malignant neoplasms, the greatest risk was in the gastrointestinal tract, which was assessed as alarming.
Limitations. Not all habitat objects were analyzed, which may reduce the objectivity of the conclusions.
Conclusion. An assessment of the long-term cumulative carcinogenic risk made it possible to prioritize the list of chemical pollutants, environmental objects, and routes of exposure to carcinogens. For more accurate planning of sanitary and hygienic measures to reduce public health risks, improve comprehensive monitoring of pollutants in all environments, taking into account all routes of entry into the human body, it is advisable to analyze the total risks for multi-environmental and multi-route exposure with an analysis of the contribution of chemicals, media, routes to their formation.
Workers with Disabilities and the Challenges of Creating an Inclusive Work Environment
Authors: Tomilova Ekaterina  A. , Vvedensky Artem I.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. Creating a workplace for workers with disabilities is a difficult task that requires considering a variety of factors. Many workplaces are not equipped with the necessary devices, such as height-adjustable tables, office chairs for disabled, or wheelchair lifts. Also, buildings may lack wheelchair ramps, elevators or wide doorways, which makes it difficult for people with limited mobility to access the workplace. These and many other factors significantly limit the possibilities of professional integration of persons with disabilities.The purpose of this work was to identify the main challenges of creating an inclusive working environment in order to increase the employment rates of workers with disabilities. In this research, an analysis of Russian and foreign literature was carried out.Materials and methods. The issues of the employment of workers with disabilities and the creation of an inclusive working environment were considered on the basis of a content analysis of scientific, review, and expert literature published both in scientific peer-reviewed publications and on the Internet. Papers by Rus-sian and foreign authors, analytical data from national statistical agencies, and materials from government and corporate programs aimed at integrating persons with disabilities into social and professional life were studied.Results. Discussions on disability in the workplace have been extremely limited for a long time. However, statistics show that 5–8% of the working-age population have health problems that limit their ability to carry out professional activities. The workplace should be accessible to all employees, whether for routine work or emergency evacuation. Effective use of international experience as well as continuous improvement of inclu-sive practices will help to create more accessible and fair working conditions for all.

Improving the culture of health and the formation of the need to preserve and maintain health is a complex healthcare problem, since it can be associated with a wide range of social determinants, which include, but are not limited to, family upbringing, access to education, economic conditions, socio-demographic characteristics and the influence of the information environment. New challenges faced by modern society, including the rapid growth of digital technologies, changing social norms and environmental degradation, significantly influence the approaches to the formation of a culture of health and maintaining a health-saving lifestyle among young people.
The purpose of the study was to identify the social determinants that have the greatest impact on the formation of health culture among adolescents aged 15-18 years.
Materials and methods. In the course of the work, a theoretical analysis of scientific literature studying the influence of social determinants on the culture of adolescent health was carried out. A study using the survey method was conducted with participation of 15-18 year-olds studying at the Pre-University of I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University and similar educational institutions of Bryansk, Magadan, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Saratov, and Donetsk.
Results. The study showed that family environment, educational system and socio-economic status have a significant impact on the development of adolescent health culture. The most common factors that have the most negative impact (binge eating, simultaneous eating and reading, abuse of salt, sweets and spices, sleep disorders), as well as less common (use of toxic drugs, procrastination, computer games, physical and emotional overload and sport injuries) were identified. One third of the surveyed schoolchildren reported about a combination of several health risks.
Conclusion. The study increases knowledge about social determinants that are key to understanding of the culture and health of adolescents. The analysis focused on critical aspects such as the social environment and its impact on health, individual attitudes to health, and behavioral risks relevant to the psychophysical development of adolescents. Upon the results of the conducted study, a “Database of monitoring of sociocultural factors of health and healthcare” was created.

Published: September 2024

Introduction. Access to dental care is a key aspect of ensuring public health and well-being. Modern health-care systems face many challenges related to the provision of high-quality dental services to all patients seeking for medical help. There is a wide range of challenges, from financial and organizational issues to social and cultural aspects. Lack of dental care affects not only oral health but health in general. Limited access to dental care can lead to tooth decay or other conditions that require expensive treatment in hospital settings, thus disrupting more urgent medical needs.The purpose of this work was to consider the current problems related to the accessibility of dental care. To this purpose, an analysis of Russian and foreign scientific literature was carried out.Materials and methods. This study used general scientific research methods (generalization, analysis, and synthesis). Papers by Russian and foreign authors as well as analytical reports on public and private pro-grams that contribute to increasing the availability of dental medical care were studied.Results. In the context of universal health care, access to dental care is considered a vital public health issue. Financial, geographical, cultural, and social barriers to dental care are considered the most significant. In the Russian Federation, according to the Federal State Statistics Service (Rosstat), about 30% of the popu-lation does not have regular access to dental services due to financial and geographical barriers.

Authors: Starshinin Andrei V. , Grechushkina Natalia A. , Pokusaev Anton S.
Published: September 2024

Introduction. According to the World Health Organization, the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19) has eliminated the global results of a steady increase in life expectancy, affecting countries and territories all over the world in different ways. Subjects of the Russian Federation have also been unevenly affected by COVID-19, causing changes in such a complex indicator as the population health index.
The aim of the study was to determine the population health index of the subjects of the Russian Federa-tion based on a number of health-related indicators of the SDG for 2022, as well as the most developed and the most vulnerable regions, taking into account the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials and methods. The Health index of the Russian subjects (oblast is a federal region, okrug is a district, republic, etc.) was calculated upon the recommendations of the World Health Organization on the calculation of the urban health index. Additionally, correlation analysis and non-metric multidimensional scaling were used.
Results. The highest values of the population health index were observed in Moscow, North Ossetia, Sevas-topol, St. Petersburg, and Tyumen Oblast (range from 0.241 to 0.239), while Ivanovo Oblast, Tver Oblast, Jew-ish Autonomous Oblast, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and Pskov Oblast (range from 0.191 to 0.000) showed the lowest indicators. The inequality coefficient is 1.532, which reflects a certain degree of health inequality among the population of Russian subjects.
Conclusion. Despite the limitations due to the calculation methodology, the results of the study provide clear information on the state of population health in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, tak-ing into account the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has posed unprecedented pressure on regional healthcare systems. The results of the index calculation can serve as the basis for a more detailed assessment of health-related factors among the population living in the territories with the lowest index indicators.

Comparison of the quality of life in peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis patients
Authors: Gribkova Irina V.
Published: September 2024

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has a profound impact on patients' health-related quality of life (QoL). Particular problems are caused by the end-stage disease, which leads to the need for renal replacement therapy (RRT). Physicians and patients face the challenge of choosing a type of RRT. In this case, it is necessary to take into account not only survival rates but also the quality of life of patients who undergo the therapy, because the ability to function and maintain well-being is one of the treatment goals recommended by the World Health Organization. Therefore, assessing QoL and identifying factors influencing it becomes increasingly important in terms of therapy effectiveness and measures aimed at improving outcomes.
The purpose of this work was to review recent scientific studies assessing the quality of life among peritoneal dialysis (PD) and hemodialysis (HD) patients, as well as identifying the better RRT type and risk factors that affect the quality of life. In order to identify the most relevant RRT type, the general questionnaires SF-36 and EQ-5D were used.
A search for scientific studies was carried out in the international PubMed/MEDLINE database in April 2024 using the keywords: chronic kidney disease, quality of life, SF-36, EQ-5D, hemodialysis, and peritoneal dialysis. We selected papers published from 2018 to 2024 where the quality of life of patients with CKD receiving such RRT types as hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis was studied.
The results showed that PD is more preferable than HD. To achieve a high quality of life, it is also necessary to carefully treat disorders of calcium and phosphate metabolism and anemia, adequately manage concomitant diseases, assist patients with medical care provided at home, organize educational programs to increase patients’ self-efficacy and self-management, and provide psychological assistance if necessary.
