The mortality of 1947 Cumbrian iron ore miners has been studied over the period 1939-82 in relation to that among other groups of men in England and Wales: (a) all men, (b) men of similar social class, and (c) men living in similar types of (mainly rural) area. Significant excesses were found for deaths from tuberculosis and respiratory diseases compared with each of the reference populations. Lung cancer showed an excess over that in comparable (mainly rural) areas of England and Wales, as reported in a previous study using a proportionate method of analysis and which covered the period 1948-67 but no appreciable excess after 1967. Reasons for this decline are discussed.
对1947年坎布里亚铁矿石矿工在1939年至1982年期间的死亡率进行了研究,并与英格兰和威尔士其他男性群体的死亡率进行了比较:(a)所有男性,(b)社会阶层相似的男性,以及(c)生活在类似类型(主要是农村)地区的男性。与各参照人群相比,发现结核病和呼吸道疾病死亡人数显著过多。肺癌的死亡率高于英格兰和威尔士类似(主要是农村)地区,正如之前一项使用比例分析方法的研究所报告的那样,该研究涵盖了1948年至1967年期间,但1967年之后没有明显过多。讨论了这种下降的原因。
