Resumen |
Where it is not possible to compare a group at risk with a control group not at risk, 2 replacement solutions are possible; calculation of theoretical values on the basis of general population mortality rates; comparison of high-exposure and low-exposure individuals with the group at risk. These 2 methodological approaches are presented together with their potential and limitations, supported by examples (tumour mortality, dust-induced bronchitis). Description of the "healthy-worker effect" observed in comparisons between a general population and an industrial population. |
