Abstract
Medical records for 5247 workers employed in the Port of Rijeka show degenerative changes of the vertebral column to be present in 1082 persons (20.6%). Diseases of the spine thus occupy the first place among all the chronic diseases observed among dock workers and come before hypertension (12. 7%), duodenal ulcer (7.4%) and alcoholism (6.6%).
