The healthy worker effect is examined in a large population of actively working communications workers. The mortality experience of 338,306 white male workers at the American Telephone and Telegraph Company grouped by age, duration of service, and general cause categories is compared with the mortality experience of US white males in 1976. Observed were statistically significant and often substantial deficits in mortality among these active workers in almost all categories. For cancers and cardiovascular diseases, mortality ratios tended to decrease across age in the subgroups with longer service durations; these ratios consistently increased across duration of service in older ages. In subgroups with long service durations, the secondary selection of the healthy worker effect in this active worker population appears to increase with increasing age.
在大量在职通信工人中研究了健康工人效应。将美国电话电报公司338306名白人男性工人按年龄、服务年限和一般病因类别分组后的死亡经历与1976年美国白人男性的死亡经历进行了比较。在几乎所有类别中，这些在职工人的死亡率都存在统计学上显著且往往相当大的不足。对于癌症和心血管疾病，在服务年限较长的亚组中，死亡率比往往随年龄增长而降低；在老年人群中，这些比率随服务年限的增加而持续上升。在服务年限较长的亚组中，在这群在职工人中，健康工人效应的二次选择似乎随着年龄的增长而增加。
