The bioimpedance analysis (BIA) method is widely used in clinical practice to evaluate body composition, hydration status, and metabolic processes. In recent years, its application has expanded beyond medicine into occupational health and industrial settings, where it serves as an effective tool for assessing workers’ functional state and early risk detection of non-communicable diseases. This review focuses on the use of BIA in industrial environments, highlighting the example of a cable plant in Uzbekistan. Analysis of scientific literature and practical data demonstrates that BIA enables monitoring of body mass index, fat and muscle distribution, and hydration balance, which are crucial indicators for preventing fatigue, metabolic disorders, and cardiovascular risks in workers exposed to high physical and environmental loads. Integration of bioimpedance monitoring into occupational health strategies contributes to improving workplace safety, reducing morbidity, and enhancing overall productivity in industrial enterprises.
