Abstract |
The rates of morbidity observed were: digestive tract diseases (27.26%), bone and joint diseases (17.03%), occupational accidents (15.3%), respiratory diseases (11.3%). Digestive diseases are more common amongst older workers (over 40 years) working in the Mediterranean; bone and joint diseases are more common in the Mediterranean for the under 40s and are almost non-existent amongst sailors on ocean routes. Respiratory diseases and occupational accidents are more common the Adriatic. The numin theerous recommended preventive measures are aimed at improving working conditions, diet and living conditions for sailors which, the authors state, are particularly arduous in the Mediterranean and Adriatic for the sample under study. |
