ABSTRACT
The authors studied influence of vibration, noise, physical overexertion and microclimate on carbohydrates metabolism and insulin resistance in metal mining industry workers. Findings are that vibration disease appeared to have maximal effect on insulin resistance test results and insulin level. The authors suggested biomarkers for early diagnosis of insulin resistance disorders in metal mining industry workers.

The study covers the influence of tuition, dwelling and nutrition conditions in boarding school on metabolism and immunity of pupils during the initial and final stage of tuition. The actual dietary intake in boarding school was found to have a carbohydrate bias and be short of micronutrients. The study established age-specific and regional peculiarities of immunological and biochemical parameters of schoolchildren's health status in Far North. The authors conclude that the alteration of metabolism typical of arctic aborigines is not genetically determined, but is observed as a result of ontogenesis. The study revealed alimentary-dependent changes in biochemical parameters of lipid, mineral and vitamin exchange. The results show that arctic children experience adaptive exertion and immunity alteration due to the change of living stereotype and the character of nutrition.

The authors studied diagnostic value of biochemical, immunologic parameters in workers exposed to lower levels of nickel. Suggestion is a complex of characteristics having the highest sensitivity and appropriate in screening for early changes in health state of workers exposed to nickel.
