A total of 3440 veterinary surgeons resident in Britain were followed up from 1949-53 until 1975. A roughly twofold increase in mortality from suicide was observed and also a decreased mortality from respiratory diseases. There was no excess of deaths from leukaemia or other cancers as recently reported from the United States and as implied by the hypothesis that veterinary surgeons are unusually exposed to oncogenic viruses.
从1949年至1953年到1975年,对总共3440名居住在英国的兽医进行了随访。观察到自杀死亡率大致增加了一倍,呼吸系统疾病死亡率有所下降。白血病或其他癌症的死亡人数并未过多,不像美国最近报道的那样,也不像兽医异常接触致癌病毒这一假设所暗示的那样。
