Abstract
In recent years, quality of life has been considered an important integral indicator in patients with chronic occupational diseases. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of life of miners with combined occupational pathology, including chronic lumbar radiculopathy and vibration disease. The results demonstrated a significant decrease in quality of life in patients with combined pathology, mainly due to chronic pain and psycho-emotional disorders, highlighting the need for a comprehensive rehabilitation approach.
