DHHS (NIOSH) PUBLICATION
NO. 97-114 JUNE 1997
Abstract
Results are presented for all combinations of occupation and cause of death or industry and cause of death that meet the following criteria: (1) the PMR for the aged-20-and-over group was 120, (2) the lower limit of the 95% CI of the PMR for the aged-20-and-over group exceeded 100, and (3) the observed number of deaths in the aged-20-and-over group was 10. The tables include the number of observed deaths and PMRs for the three age groups (20 and over, 20 to 64, and 65 and over).
Some findings support previously reported associations: for example, coal workers pneumoconiosis in white male mining machine operators (PMR=5,146; 95% CI=4,6965,629) and malignant neoplasm of the lung in white male insulation workers (PMR=188; 95% CI=152229). Other results suggest new areas for research: for example, malignant neoplasm of the esophagus in white waitresses (PMR=203; 95% CI=141282) and cerebrovascular diseases in black farmers (male PMR=134; 95% CI=128140; female PMR=141; 95% CI=126157).
