Sažetak
The aim of the investigation was to determine the nutritional status in textile manufacturing plants. Anthropometry has been generally accepted as a method of monitoring the nutritional status of an individual person, a population or a working group. In this way an assessment of the risk of disease can be given. The investigation was undertaken in the city of Zagreb and in the Međimurje County. 328 subjects took part in the investigation, i.e. male participants amounted to 4.48% and female participants amounted to 95.52% ; 16 survey questionnaires were invalid. The survey questionnaire was used to collect results in writing and to perform measurements. The participation itself was voluntary and anonymous. Nutritional status is obtained by calculating the body mass index. Body mass index (BMI) is a statistical measurement which compares a person's weight and height, indicating fatness and obesity. It is calculated that body mass in kilograms is divided by the square of* *weight* *in meters. The lowest measured body mass index was 17.30 and the highest 40.27, while the average values are 25.83. Machine operation includes repetitive movements of legs and arms in a short period of time of the technological operation which causes fatigue and stress of certain body parts, musculature, including the spine. It reflects in form of overcoming discomfort and pain in different body parts. The person is almost always in a seated posture and the work is performed as machine-man interaction. As a result a biomechanical stress appears.
