The analysis of mortality offers an important indicator for assessing the state of workers' occupational health. Workers involved in the extraction, refining, alloying and manufacturing of metals are frequently exposed to occupational risks that can lead to their death. The objective of this work was to synthesize the scientific evidence about factors associated with mortality among workers in the metallurgical industry.
A bibliographic review was conducted using the PubMed database. Seventeen studies were included, where topics addressed specific problems that influence the mortality of workers in the metallurgical industry sector. Complete texts of the articles were reviewed.
Findings show the highest probabilities of death due to malignant neoplasms (48%), diseases of the circulatory system (28%), work accidents (15%), suicide and violence (9%).
Despite the research carried out, there are gaps and limitations in the study of mortality in workers in the metallurgical industry, mainly related to the relationship of the cause of death with occupational risk factors.
死亡率分析为评估工人职业健康状况提供了一项重要指标。从事金属开采、精炼、合金化及制造工作的工人经常面临可能导致死亡的职业风险。本研究的目的是综合有关冶金行业工人死亡率相关因素的科学证据。
使用PubMed数据库进行文献综述。纳入了17项研究,这些研究的主题涉及影响冶金行业工人死亡率的具体问题。对文章全文进行了审查。
研究结果显示,因恶性肿瘤导致死亡的概率最高(48%),其次是循环系统疾病(28%)、工作事故(15%)、自杀和暴力(9%)。
尽管开展了相关研究,但冶金行业工人死亡率研究仍存在差距和局限性,主要与死亡原因和职业风险因素之间的关系有关。
