Abstract
At present, the pathology of the cardiovascular system is leading in the structure of the morbidity and mortality rate of the population. According to experts, the number of deaths from diseases of the circulatory system (DCS) will grow. A traditional preventive measure for DCS is the promotion of a healthy lifestyle. However, the influence of the electromagnetic field (EMF) and consideration of EMF as one of the factors of the formation of this type of pathology, has not been studied enough. The article considers the results of electromagnetic monitoring in the frequency range of mobile communication. Emission from mobile phones (MP) was determined in the places of their active exploitation by subscribers (microdistricts of cities, urban and rural settlements). The number of measurement points depended on the area of the study space and varied from 3 to 60. At each measuring point, the level of the electromagnetic radiation (EMR) was determined successively from two identical MPs (Samsung G3) in the voice mode with the remote subscriber. The resulting average values of the EMR energy flux density (EFD) depended on the distance to the base stations, their load and did not exceed the existing hygienic standards. However, during the Pearson correlation analysis between the obtained results and the DCS incidence rates, positive reliable correlation dependencies between the average values of EFD and the overall incidence of DCS as a whole (R=0.471, р=0.027) were revealed. Among the components of the DCS, coronary heart disease (R=0.503, р=0.017) is the leader in the correlation. The obtained data testify to the need for further studies of the problem of the influence of EMF on the formation of the cardiovascular system pathology in the population with the aim of justifying priority preventive measures.
