Mortality of British coal miners in 1961.
Liddell, F. D. K. (1973). Brit. J. industr. Med., 30, 15-24. Mortality of British coal miners in 1961. In an earlier enquiry, a sizeable proportion of deaths officially ascribed to coalmining occupations was shown to have been in men who had worked in the industry but not in jobs specific to coalmining, or who had left the mines and taken up other employment. This led to overstatement of mortal...
متن کاملCoal dust exposure and mortality from ischemic heart disease among a cohort of U.S. coal miners.
BACKGROUND Particulate exposure from air pollution increases the risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) mortality. Although coal miners are highly exposed to coal dust particulate, studies of IHD mortality risk among coal miners have had inconsistent results. Previous studies may have been biased by the healthy worker effect. METHODS We examined the dose-response relationship between cumulative...
متن کاملRadiographic outcomes among South African coal miners.
OBJECTIVES This study, the first to document the prevalence of pneumoconiosis among a living South African coal mining cohort, describes dose-response relationships between coal workers' pneumoconiosis and respirable dust exposure, and relationships between pneumoconiosis and both lung function deterioration and respiratory symptoms. METHODS A total of 684 current miners and 188 ex-miners fro...
متن کاملRespiratory disease mortality among US coal miners; results after 37 years of follow-up.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate respiratory related mortality among underground coal miners after 37 years of follow-up. METHODS Underlying cause of death for 9033 underground coal miners from 31 US mines enrolled between 1969 and 1971 was evaluated with life table analysis. Cox proportional hazards models were fitted to evaluate the exposure-response relationships between cumulative exposure to coal ...
متن کاملMortality among U.S. underground coal miners: a 23-year follow-up.
BACKGROUND The mortality experience over 22-24 years of 8,899 working coal miners initially medically examined in 1969-1971 at 31 U.S. coal mines was evaluated. METHODS A cohort life-table analysis was undertaken on underlying causes of death, and proportional hazards models were fitted to both underlying, and underlying and contributing causes of death. RESULTS Elevated mortality from nonv...
