Study of autonomic disorders in video display terminal users

Abstract

The incidence of paroxysmal vegetative disorders in users of videodisplay terminals, as well as the dependence of the disorders on some individual peculiarities of workers: sex, age, a series of social demographic, family and behaviour characteristics and general physical training are studied. The incidence of vegetative paroxysms in women — users of videodisplay terminals was higher than in women not working with videodisplay terminals. It is shown that women — users of videodisplay terminals aged 30 and older are a group of increased risk from the standpoint of paroxysmal vegetative disorders.
