| Resumen |
Mortality odds ratios for lung cancer versus all other causes were calculated for 218,341 Afro-American and Caucasian men who had been employed in the metal industries. Afro-American men were found to be at increased risk for lung cancer mortality when compared with Caucasian men among the 4668 coke oven workers (OR 1.38), but not among the 33,605 white-collar workers (OR 0.95). Implications of these findings are discussed. |
