Prof. Teodora Dimitrova, Dr Panayot Nikolov

Abstract :

Work on a ship has a higher riskthan other professions, mainly because of the higher frequency of traumatism and chronic non–infectious diseases.This fact justifies the necessity of active health prophylaxis among that occupational group.

The aim of the study is to track the effect of a interventional program, which includes health discourse and extra medical examination with occupational health consultation among risk groups of seamen.

For the period of 1 year, we tracked the dynamic changes in the body mass and lipid profiles in blood among 96working sailors.People with obesity before intervention are 25,8%against 23,7% after , these with higher value of total cholesterol in blood before are 59,8% against 44,3% (p<0.05) and  the number of sailors with higher level of triglycerides is reduced from 37,5% to 37,1%. Improvement of health condition among workers in maritime transport is possible by necessary activity in health promotion.
