RESUMO
Complex medical examination covered 87 metallurgists of aluminium production with chronic fluorine intoxication and 43 metallurgists witout occupational diseases, aged 40 to 60, to evaluate factors associated with multi-focal atherosclerosis risk in aluminium production workers with chronic fluorine intoxication. Findings are increased incidence of ischemic heart disease and combined atherosclerosis of extracranial and peripheral arteries in workers with long exposure to fluorine compounds. Metallurgists with chronic fluorine intoxication appeared to have more frequent hyperfibrinogenemia and coronary personality type A, if compared to those without occupational diseases.
