Data derived from the census report of 1970-1972 concerning occupational mortality in England and Wales have been analyzed in the light of particular hazards in work and life-style. For all cancer deaths there is a gradient rising from the highest social class to the lowest. Considering deaths among 25 occupational orders and the expected numbers for each order, it can be calculated that social class accounts for about 88% of the variation in cancer mortality.
根据1970 - 1972年英格兰和威尔士职业死亡率的人口普查报告所获取的数据,已依据工作和生活方式中的特定危害进行了分析。对于所有癌症死亡病例,存在一种从最高社会阶层到最低社会阶层逐渐上升的梯度变化。考虑25个职业类别中的死亡人数以及每个类别预期的死亡人数,可以计算出社会阶层约占癌症死亡率变化的88%。
