| Abstract |
The results of an investigation of 44 Brazilian cobblers and a control group of 46 men indicate that funnel chest can be caused by pressure applied for long periods against the anterior surface of the chest. It can be considered an occupational disease in cobblers using their sternum as a working surface. |
