Popis: It is known that a person suffers from tension in many organism systems under the influence adverse factors in the Arctic region. First of all, the work of cardiorespiratory system changes under the influence of cold followed by changes in thermoexchange, thermoregulation and water exchange. The article presents the results of risk estimation of circulatory diseases development among workers engaged in basic and auxiliary professions in an open-pit mine and processing complex in the North-Western Phosphorous Company (NWPC). The results are based on data analysis of periodic medical examination (PME) in the period 2013-2015. Real prevalence in circulatory diseases has been also studied among the workers engaged in mining industry in an open-pit mine according PME results. It has been stated that the low level of occupational risk does not allow to bind the origin of circulatory diseases with the workplace and profession. The higher indexes of circulatory diseases prevalence in the investigated group are more likely to be related with recruiting to NWPC the inhabitants mainly from the other regions of the Russian Federation. These indexes can also be explained by the age-related features, socio-economic and climate and geographical conditions of labour activity and residence. The detailed collection of professional anamnesis is necessary for more profound analysis of PME.
