68.8% of the workers of a metal factory have at least one pathological finding out of 11 parameters checked. The number of sick people increases from 57.1% in sedentary workers, to 64.5% in workers doing light or medium physical work, and 77.2% in heavy physical workers. The strongest trend, postulating a positive correlation between work and disease, can be found with the objective signs "chronic bronchitis", "inguinal hernia", and "pathological urine". Contrary to this positive trend in most medical findings, only hypertension and electrocardiographic changes are less frequent in heavy physical workers. The results obtained suggest, on the whole, an interrelationship between sickness and heavy physical work.
一家金属厂68.8%的工人在检查的11项参数中至少有一项病理检查结果。患病工人的比例从从事久坐工作的57.1%，增加到从事轻度或中度体力劳动工人的64.5%，以及从事重度体力劳动工人的77.2%。在“慢性支气管炎”“腹股沟疝”和“病理性尿液”这些客观体征中，可以发现最明显的趋势，即工作与疾病之间呈正相关。与大多数医学检查结果的这种正相关趋势相反，只有高血压和心电图改变在从事重度体力劳动的工人中不太常见。总体而言，所获得的结果表明疾病与重度体力劳动之间存在相互关系。
