A cohort study was conducted of the membership of a large international union of painters and allied tradesmen. The union membership consisted of both painters and associated trades such as glaziers and tile and carpet layers. The study examined the mortality experience of 57 175 current and former union members in four states (California, Missouri, New York, and Texas) in the United States (US) from 1975 through 1979. No excess mortality was observed for the total union membership when compared to that of all US white males. When the study population was subdivided by the trade affiliation, members of locals comprised primarily of painters exhibited a significant elevation in mortality from all malignant neoplasms, lung cancer, and stomach cancer, compared to all US white males. To reduce the impact of potential nonoccupational differences between the study population and all US white males, the data were also analyzed using the entire cohort as the standardization population. Significant elevations continued to be observed for all malignant neoplasms and lung cancer among the membership of painting locals compared to other locals. In addition there was a statistically significant difference in mortality from leukemia and cancer of the bladder observed between the groups.
对一个大型国际油漆工及相关行业工会的会员进行了一项队列研究。工会会员包括油漆工以及诸如玻璃安装工、瓷砖和地毯铺设工等相关行业的工人。该研究调查了1975年至1979年期间美国四个州（加利福尼亚州、密苏里州、纽约州和得克萨斯州）的57175名现任和前任工会会员的死亡情况。与所有美国白人男性相比，整个工会会员群体未观察到超额死亡率。当按行业归属对研究人群进行细分时，主要由油漆工组成的地方工会会员与所有美国白人男性相比，所有恶性肿瘤、肺癌和胃癌的死亡率显著升高。为了减少研究人群与所有美国白人男性之间潜在的非职业差异的影响，还以整个队列作为标准化人群对数据进行了分析。与其他地方工会相比，油漆工地方工会会员中所有恶性肿瘤和肺癌的死亡率仍显著升高。此外，两组之间白血病和膀胱癌死亡率存在统计学上的显著差异。
