A study was performed in the "Belgrade Wool Co." as a retrospective epidemiological investigation, for a three-year period (1985-1987), on a sample of 134 blue-collar female workers. The following statistically significant facts were established: in favourable working conditions (sewing department) the older workers (above the age of 35 years) were absent from work because of illness longer than the younger workers; the number of the younger workers (age 35 years or under) with sick absences increased as working conditions worsened (wool-mills compared to sewing departments). Respiratory diseases made the most frequent cause of absence from work. Harder working conditions influenced the morbidity structure as cause of absenteeism resulting in the rise of prevalence of mental disorders among the younger workers, and of locomotor and circulatory diseases among the older ones. The younger workers showed a rising trend in the severity and frequency of injuries as causes of absence from work, which correlated with the degree of deterioration of working conditions. Finally, under extremely hard working conditions (wool-mills) the rate of occupationally induced injuries among the younger workers was as much as three times higher than among the older ones, and the duration of sick absences was longer.
在“贝尔格莱德羊毛公司”进行了一项回顾性流行病学调查，为期三年（1985 - 1987年），样本为134名蓝领女工。得出以下具有统计学意义的事实：在良好的工作条件下（缝纫部门），年龄较大的工人（35岁以上）因病缺勤的时间比年轻工人长；随着工作条件恶化（与缝纫部门相比，毛纺厂），年轻工人（35岁及以下）的病假缺勤人数增加。呼吸系统疾病是缺勤最常见的原因。更艰苦的工作条件影响了作为缺勤原因的发病率结构，导致年轻工人中精神障碍患病率上升，老年工人中运动系统和循环系统疾病患病率上升。年轻工人因受伤导致的缺勤严重程度和频率呈上升趋势，这与工作条件恶化程度相关。最后，在极其艰苦的工作条件下（毛纺厂），年轻工人的职业性损伤发生率比老年工人高出三倍之多，病假缺勤时间也更长。
