Introduction. The article discusses the features of nutrition and the formation of the metabolic syndrome in workers in dust-hazardous industries. The relevance and urgency of studying the relation of nutrition to the development of obesity, arterial hypertension, impaired carbohydrate and lipid metabolism is due to the steady progression of the prevalence of metabolic syndrome both in the population as a whole and among workers in hazardous industries. The purpose. Hygienic assessment of the actual nutrition in different age groups from the standpoint of the risk of developing metabolic syndrome in workers of the industrial enterprises. Materials and methods. Sixty four workers aged of 51.0±8.7 years, the average work experience being 18.4±6.9 years were surveyed in the mining and engineering industries,. The ones surveyed were divided into two groups taking into account their age: the first group included people from 30 to 44 years (28 people), the second group included people aged 45 to 60 years (36 ones). The research methods included the assessment of actual nutrition, anthropometry, measurement of blood pressure, clarification of the glycemic profile and lipid spectrum. Results. The actual nutrition of workers in hazardous industries was found to be off-balanced in terms of macronutrient intake. In the age group of 30-44 years, a significant increase in the risk of developing metabolic syndrome was determined due to alcohol consumption, exceeding the norm of added sugar. In the older group (45-60 years), the risk of developing metabolic syndrome increased due to the excessive amount of total fats in the diet and a deficiency of dietary fibers. Limitations. The study included 64 workers aged 30 to 60 years, the correlation analysis of the compared indicators was carried out using a quantitative scale, when calculating the odds ratio, the indicators were measured on a nominal scale. Conclusion. There are revealed age-related features of actual nutrition of workers in dust-hazardous occupations, resulting in the development of abdominal obesity and metabolic syndrome, requiring further study to develop effective measures for the nutritional prevention of cardiovascular diseases and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Currently, the biological value of colostrum is generally considered as a resource of biotechnologies for the production of functional food products capable of purposefully improving the state of actual nutrition of certain categories of the population. At the same time, the use of essential micronutrients included in colostrum is significantly limited by the complexity of technological processes for the manufacture of biologically active additives based on a natural product. The article is devoted to the generalization and systematization of available information about the macronutrient composition of colostrum, the biological value of essential micronutrients included in the product, immunomodulatory, regulatory and prebiotic properties. The authors present examples of the use of colostrum and its fractions in the form of medicines and biologically active food additives. The possibilities of using a functional food product based on colostrum in industrial workers as a physiologically functional food ingredient with antioxidant effect, radioprotective properties, the possibility of neutralizing xenobiotics, binding heavy metals, arsenic compounds, cyanides, aromatic hydrocarbons are substantiated. The resource for information search is the bibliographic databases Medline and RSCI.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
