Biological age (BA) was evaluated in workers of main occupations of a modern metallurgical enterprise. The expressed accel-eration aging was stated in 78,7 % workers. BA of workers allows to analyze and determine the impact of work environmen-tal factors and the working process onto decrease of the vital activity of persons, exposed to high occupational risks. BA, sep¬arately or in combination with other methods, can be used for early diagnostics of occupational and work-related diseases and, also, for improvement of primary and secondary preventive measures for occupational and work-related diseases.

Key words: biological age, workers, occupations, metallurgical workshops, aging
