Occupational Mortality in Washington State, 1950-1971. Volume I.

PB267289

Publication Date	1976
Personal Author	Milham, S.
Page Count	122
Abstract	The occupational and cause-of-death information on 300,000 Washington State male death certificates for the years 1950-1971 was analyzed using an age and year of death standardized proportionate mortality ratio approach. A detailed cause of death analysis is reported for each of 194 occupational classes. The occupational mortality findings are compared with those of the Registrar General, for England and Wales, and with the one 1950 U.S. study. In general, the Washington State mortality pattern is consistent with the published occupational mortality literature, but new occupational mortality associations are present which warrant follow up.
