    Abstract:
    Textile workers in Lódź have undergone a cross-sectional representative study aimed at the detection of arterial hypertension. In addition, the impact of sex, age, overweight, blood cholesterol level, smoking habit and noise upon the prevalence of that disease has been tested. Arterial hypertension has been found in 8.3% subjects, 9.2%--women, 6.7%--men. The prevalence was increasing significantly with age. Those with overweight exhibited higher prevalence rates. Hypercholesterolemia was accompanied by more frequent arterial hypertension; in women it was statistically significant. No significant negative effects of smoking and noise as occupational hazards promoting that disease have been found.
