{"product_id":"2940013340848","title":"Occupational Mortality in Washington State 1950-1989","description":"The occupational and cause-of-death information on 588,090 Washington State male deaths for 1950- 1989 and 88,071 female deaths for 1974-1989 was analyzed using an age and year-of-death standardized proportionate mortality ratio program. A detailed cause-of-death analysis (161 causes) is published for each of 219 occupational categories for males and for each of 68 occupational categories for females.\u003cbr\u003eT\u003cbr\u003ehe occupational mortality findings are compared with those of the Registrar General and with the published occupational mortality literature. The Washington State mortality pattern is, in general, consistent with both the Registrar General's results and with the published literature. Some of the new occupational mortality findings published in the 1950-1971 report and in the updated version have been confirmed. The previous finding of a leukemia increase in workers exposed to electric and magnetic fields is confirmed in this report. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis study had its beginnings in a case control study (3) of Hodgkin's disease which used the upstate New York death record file for occupational and cause of death information. The study showed an excess of woodworking occupations in the Hodgkin's disease group as compared to matched controls. When an interview study (4) and a population-based study (5) confirmed this finding, I decided to examine the occupational pattern in other selected cause of death groupings. An unpublished case-control study of male bladder cancer death certificates in Washington State was able to identify the same occupations with increased risk as previous clinical and interview studies (6-9). Also, a study (10) of leukemia death certificates in Washington State and Oregon was able to confirm and extend a previously reported (11) association of leukemia with farming occupations.","brand":"1001 Property Solutions LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082686054640,"sku":"2940013340848","price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013340848_p0.jpg?v=1763580100","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013340848","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
