| Abstract |
Standardized mortality ratios (SMR) for various disease in terms of occupation have been compared in Japan and England and Wales. The SMRs for leading causes for death in Japan, such as cerebrovascular disease, are significantly lower in fishermen than in farmers in Japan. On the contrary, SMRs for leading causes of death in England and Wales, such as ischemic heart disease and lung cancer, are significantly higher in fishermen than in farmers in England and Wales. However, the SMRs for ischemic heart disease and lung cancer are significantly higher in fishermen than in farmers in both countries. |
