Abstract |
This article presents data for the year 2007 from the French National Network for the Vigilance and Prevention of Occupational Diseases (French acronym RNV3P), which analyses the main conditions for which experts from Occupational Pathology Consultation Centres (CCPPs) located within teaching hospitals were consulted and for which they diagnosed at least one possible occupational cause. For these health problems at work (HPW), 55% of patients were men and 45% women, with women on average younger than men. Mental disorders and behaviour concerned more than one HPW in four (27%). A relationship between, on one hand the main demographic variables (gender and age) or sector of employment and, on the other hand, occupational diseases, is demonstrated. Tumours were the most common diseases in patients aged more than 60 years, while skin diseases were the most frequent for those less than 30 years of age. According to CCPP physicians, over one third of patients diagnosed with HPW in 2007 were eligible for occupational disease compensation, mainly for diseases of the musculoskeletal system, and mental and behavioural disorders. |
