A total of 3392 professional drivers in London were followed up in a prospective mortality study. There were significantly fewer deaths than expected from all causes (SMR 91, p less than 0.05), circulatory disease (SMR 75, p less than 0.05), and accidents (SMR 61, p less than 0.05). Lorry drivers showed excess deaths from stomach cancer (SMR 141, p less than 0.05), lung cancer (SMR 159, p less than 0.05), bronchitis, emphysema, and asthma (SMR 143, p less than 0.05), a pattern not evident among taxi drivers. Mortality from bladder cancers, leukaemia, and other lymphatic cancers were raised in taxi drivers, though the results did not achieve statistical significance. The importance of the findings is discussed.
在一项前瞻性死亡率研究中，对伦敦的3392名职业司机进行了随访。所有原因导致的死亡人数显著低于预期（标准化死亡比为91，p<0.05），循环系统疾病（标准化死亡比为75，p<0.05）和事故（标准化死亡比为61，p<0.05）导致的死亡人数也显著低于预期。货车司机患胃癌（标准化死亡比为141，p<0.05）、肺癌（标准化死亡比为159，p<0.05）、支气管炎、肺气肿和哮喘（标准化死亡比为143，p<0.05）的死亡人数过多，出租车司机中未出现这种情况。出租车司机患膀胱癌、白血病和其他淋巴癌的死亡率有所上升，不过结果未达到统计学显著性。本文讨论了这些研究结果的重要性。
