[The effect of a heat-producing industrial microclimate on the rate of biological aging of the body].

While detecting the biological and cardiopulmonary age the authors have demonstrated that the long-term work under the conditions of the heating industrial microclimate promotes acceleration of biological body aging. In the intensification of the aging process, of great importance is the time at which one starts working under the heating microclimate conditions. Based on the data obtained the conclusion is drawn that employment of the persons over 40 years may be restricted in relation to so-called "hot" occupations.

[The cardiopulmonary age of workers in hot jobs in glass manufacture].

Data are reported on the effect of heating microclimate on the enhancement of functional aging of the cardiovascular system in workers of the glass industry. It is shown that enhancement of the aging tempo was noted during the first 5 years of work in condition of hot microclimate and following 15 years of work in these conditions. The enhancement of biological aging of the individual is also influenced by the age of the worker beginning to work in conditions of hot climate.

[Body function and the biological aging of those working under the conditions of a warming microclimate].

The state of the cardiovascular system, indices of thermoregulation, immunological reactivity, cardiopulmonary and biological age were investigated in workers of "hot" professions. It was established that persons working in conditions of heating microclimate show a weakening of the compensation capacities of the cardio-vascular system manifested in a reduction of tone of arterial vessels, inhibition of immunological reactivity. These workers revealed an increased rate of aging of the body at working length over 15 years.

[Results of studies on long-term results of the effects of hot microclimate on the body of workers].

The article presents data on the functional features of thermoregulation, cardiovascular and respiratory system, neuro-muscular and immune state in those engaged in heating microclimate labour conditions. It is proposed that intensive heat and physical overload results in presenilation among workers, which is proved by changes in their cardiopulmonary and biologic aging processes.
