RESUMO
Popularization of the healthy way of life (HWL) at the medical institutes is a crucial problem, since on the one hand, the medical institute is to train good specialists in terms of their own health and, on the other hand, these specialists are to popularize the HWL among the community. The paper is a summary of the experience of 10 clinical departments of the Vladivostok Medical Institute, gained with popularization of the HWL. The purpose lies in the training of the specialists in the methodology and techniques by which the HWL is to be introduced in the consciousness of the community. The realization of the purpose involves the use of conventional and original methodological approaches to the organization of the training and educational process and their differentiation at certain stages. The program and plan of the training include the use of both required and facultative forms of the training, active participation of the students in carrying out health measures among the community.

Interrelations between arterial pressure (AP) and overweight and excess consumption of table salt (TS) with food were examined in female workers of a large industrial enterprise within the framework of the All-Union cooperative program of AP control. It has been demonstrated that overweight is one of the main risk factors of AP. In hypertensive persons, overweight is recordable much more frequently whatever the age group. In normotensive workers, overweight was established in 19.2% of cases, whereas in high AP, in 39.8%. Studies into percentile distribution of body weight in the examinees with normal and high AP have shown that in hypertensive subjects, this indicator is higher than in normotensive ones in all the cut-off percentile level. No appreciable differences have been discovered in excess consumption of TS with food by normotensive and hypertensive women in any age groups or in the population on the whole.

A relationship was examined between the blood pressures and the social and living conditions in 2026 female workers at a ship-repairing plant. The persons having a primary or incomplete secondary education and those periodically working at night were demonstrated to constitute an elevated blood pressure risk groups. The regression analysis indicated that the blood pressure values were significantly affected by the following variables: education, extra or overtime work, average income per household, and living conditions. The influence of social and living factors on the systolic blood pressure was 9.4% of the total number of impacts. This parameter accounted for 7.9% for diastolic blood pressure. The examination of the relationship of blood pressure to the labour pattern in the female workers demonstrated a significant increase in the mean systolic and diastolic pressures and in the incidence of systolic and diastolic arterial hypertensions in manual workers. The social and living conditions and the labour pattern can exert a substantial action on the blood pressure values in females, so they may be regarded as risk factors for arterial hypertension and borne in mind in implementing therapeutical and prophylactic measures to control arterial hypertension at the industrial enterprises.

Data on the prevalence of arterial hypertension (AH) among female workers of a large Vladivostok ship-repair plant, between 20 and 54 years of age, are presented. AH was detected in 17.5% of the screened women. The results of follow-up screening tests, performed 3 years later, are reviewed. Marginal arterial hypertension is shown to be the principal source of AH. Aggravated cardiovascular heredity also contributes to AH. Women showed great interest in participating in preventive and therapeutic programs at the medical division of an industrial enterprise.
