Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Further follow up of mortality in a United Kingdom oil refinery cohort

Notas: Sumario: The results of an extension of follow up of a cohort of workers employed for at least one year between 1 January 1950 and 31 December 1975 at eight oil refineries in Britain are reported. Over 99% of the workers were successfully traced to determine their vital status at 31 December 1989. The mortality observed was compared with that expected from the death rates of all the male population of England and Wales and Scotland. The mortality from all causes of death for the total study population was lower than that of the comparison population, and reduced mortality was also found for many of the major nonmalignant causes of death. Raised mortality patterns were found for diseases of the arteries, in particular aortic aneurysm, and accidental fire and explosion, for the total study population, and across several refineries and other subgroupsRegistros relacionados: En: British journal of industrial medicine. - London and Margate. - nº 6, June 1993 ; p. 549-560Materia / lugar / evento: Medicina laboral Enfermedades profesionales Refinerías Aceites industriales Mortalidad Higiene industrial Epidemiología Gran Bretaña Otros autores: Murray, J.
