Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - The Importance of lung function, non-malignant diseases associated with asbestos, and symptoms as predictors of ischaemic heart disease in shipyard workers exposed to asbestos

Notas: Sumario: The mortality from ischaemic heart disease was studied in a prospective cohort of 1725 shipyard workers exposed to asbestos. The analyses were stratified for age and smoking habits and restricted to men. In agreement with other findings, men with impaired lung function had a significantly higher risk of dying from ischaemic heart disease than men with normal lung function. Men with asbestosis or suspected asbestosis had a significantly higher risk of dying from ischaemic heart disease than men without asbestosisRegistros relacionados: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 9, September 1993 ; p. 785-790Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Astilleros Amianto Asbestosis Mortalidad Enfermedades pulmonares Enfermedades cardiovasculares Epidemiología Otros autores: Järvholm, Bengt
