Abstract

Dermatoglyphic investigations which prove the existence of genetic predisposition to occupational fluorosis in workers of aluminum and criolite plants were carried out. Mathematical methods of pattern recognition were used for the multifactorial analysis. It was found that the complex analysis of ten the most informative dermatoglyphic parameters permits to prognosticate a genetically determined risk of this occupational disease.
