| Abstract |
Analysis of the health status of 110 inland waterway sailors. The incidence of cardiovascular disorders (27%) was considerably higher than in other branches of industry, while that of musculoskeletal (13%), respiratory (7%) and digestive (7%) complaints was lower. Sequelae of injury are important on account of the high accident rate in this occupation. Differences in the morbidity structure between the two main categories - master and crew members - are accounted for only by the fact that the former are 10 years older on average. |
