The level of servicing in women, in high school schools, in the younger age group has been detected higher, but this difference is not meaningful (P>0.05). In secretaries, radiology shooting workers, smokers and people with chronic illness, the level of servant is higher, but this difference is not meaningful (P>0.05).
