Overweight, obesity, and carbohydrate metabolism disorder in workers of an industrial facility in Kazakhstan: early prevention and its management.

Introduction: In recent years, the issue of widespread increased body weight in combination with blood glycaemic changes in the able-bodied population of Kazakhstan has become especially acute, which in turn leads to dangerous complications and an increased burden on the country's healthcare structures. Aim: To investigate the effectiveness of early prevention of overweight, obesity, and carbohydrate metabolism disorders in the able-bodied workers at an industrial facility in Kazakhstan.Material and methods: The study was conducted in 2019-2021 using elements of both empirical (observation, comparison, measurement) and theoretical (analysis and synthesis, statistical processing of results with the calculation of the reliability criterion) models of scientific knowledge. Results: The factors that have a correlation with this pathology and the strength of their interaction have been studied. New approaches to primary prevention have been developed, and algorithms have been formulated not only for the early detection of pathologies but also for the most effective and efficient methods of combating the occurrence of such pathologies in the population. Conclusions: To prevent the further spread of the phenomenon of overweight among workers in the industrial sector of Kazakhstan, the following measures are necessary: daily walking (more than 10,000 steps), dosed physical activity in the form of cardio and swimming, and nutrition correction (Mediterranean diet) with alcohol restriction. This prevention significantly reduces body weight and optimizes carbohydrate metabolism.
