Abstract
In modern conditions in the structure of employed population specific weight of intellectual workers related to the high level of psychoemotional stress (management, teaching, science etc.). The aim: establish a causal relationship between teacher health indicators and factors, affecting it. In recent years significant changes in the learning processes have occurred, information loads have increased, stress-strain of the modern life has risen, this causes an overstrain in the body and stress reactions. According to the hygienic classifications teaching work refers to harmful (hard work) 3rd (last). Despite the existing standards, the work of teachers is not standardized. This is due to the fact that the available standards cover only the training workload, and all other production activities remain unregulated. The main problems are a decrease in workability in the aging process, deterioration of the body adaptive capacity, age-related changes in mental and physical workability, change in the system of motivation for employment, etc. At the same time studies show that the deterioration of a number of functions of the intellectual workers body concerns primarily quantitative, and not qualitative, capacity indicators. Among the established risk factors for the occurrence of chronic pathology the leading ones were a work experience in the university more than 20 years, a presence of psychoemotional stress, a voice load, bad habits (alcohol, smoking) and low level of medical activity. Evidence-based approach is necessary to make decisions on strengthening the health of intellectuals on the basis of complex analysis of the factors affecting their health.
