[The influence of hypercholesterolemia and noise on human auditory function].

A cross-sectional study on occupational noise exposure and hypercholesterolemia was conducted in a group of 1.209 workers exposed to industrial noise. Clinical examinations and audiograms were compared in exposed and not exposed subjects to noise. There was a strong relationship between severe noise induced hearing loss and hypercholesterolemia in all de workers. But the relationship was not convincing when the workers were considered stratified in groups of age, because the number of hard of hearing labourers with high levels of cholesterol, increases as they get older. The AA, support the point of view that the age is an important confounding factor, and in their study there is no relation between noise induced hearing loss and hypercholesterolemia.

[Habits and alcohol consumption among Saragossa student population].

Since the drinking of alcoholic drinks is an important health problem, in order to draw up health education programmes, we must know the diverse factors that characterize the consumption of alcohol in our region. A survey was carried out on 1,404 student from Secondary Schools and University in the city of Zaragoza, by means of a questionnaire "ad hoc" given to sample groups for a period of time lasting from February to March 1989. The consumption of alcohol by young people is characterized by a very notable increase in consumption, when the percentage of consumers drinking in excess is high. In terms of the type of alcoholic drink consumed, those preferred are spirits, then beer, and thirdly wine, and, of course, certain of consumption are influenced by socioeconomic conditions.

[Physical examinations of school children: follow-up of detected problems].

A study of prevalent sensorial pathology (visual and/or auditive) is carried out among first-year primary school students in Zaragoza city by means of a follow-up of those cases with possible pathologies detected during the School Health Campaign of 1986-87. The questionnaire sent out gathered the following information: sex of the child examined; prior information in the family about possible problem detected; existence of family history of sensorial pathologies;: child's awareness and manifestation of problem's existence; final solution of the problem detected; place where solution was given; confirmation of the diagnosis given by the school inspection teams, treatments prescribed; specialists consulted and need for later revision of the sensorial problem. We received 403 valid questionnaires which make up the final sample, on which computerised statistical processing was carried out by means of the chi square test with a 5 por 100 error margin to check the dependence of all the variables contained in the questionnaire. Systematically performed health inspections promote infant health and prevent illness. Their value resides not so much in the extent that they note possible pathological cases, a task which might be taken on by Primary Health Care, but in the fact that they provide indices of results which when studied and analysed indicate the prevalence thus giving a starting point for more specific programmes to be developed.

[Interaction of arterial blood pressure and industrial noise on human hearing].

A cross-sectional study of occupational noise exposure and high blood pressure was conducted in a group of 1584 workers. Clinical examination, audiograms, and body mass index were compared in exposed and not to noise finding a strong relationship between severe noise induced hearing loss and high blood pressure in all the staff, as it has been marked by different authors. But when we stratify the population in groups of age, we can't find any influence between noise exposure and hypertension, or between the appearing of high blood pressure and noise induced hearing loss.
