Resumen |
The number of deaths by cause, race and sex in 2709 workers (black and white males and females) from obituary listings were compared with the general US population. Mortality from cancer of the colon was slightly elevated in all groups. Excess deaths from lung cancer occurred only in white females. Proportionate mortality ratios were high for arteriosclerosis, heart disease, motor vehicle accidents and suicides in most groups, and those for respiratory disease and cirrhosis of the liver were low. |
