Abstract

Forecasting data on the human heat resistance, professional successes, and health level under hot arid conditions of Turkmenistan are described. A relationship has been established between the characteristics of the thermoregulation system performance under thermoneutral environments, which is shown by the skin surface temperature, and the organism's capacity to maintain a high level of working capacity on heat exposure. The skin temperature patterns are shown to be informative when analyzing the organism's heat state and forecasting the extent to which the total working capacity decreases in response to the intensive heat effect. On the basis of the findings, we developed the criteria for psychophysiological professional selection of linemen for the work under hot arid zone conditions of Turkmenistan. A comparative analysis of the health status of women employed in industry and of housewives living in the arid zone has been carried out using the automated system for the quantitative estimation of risk of the major pathological syndromes (ASQEPS). Groups with tense adaptation have been detected. Analysis and comparison of the syndrome rating in the test groups make it possible to estimate the effect of natural climatic and industrial conditions on the risk of development of major noninfectious diseases and to formulate recommendations for health maintenance.
