Abstract

Background: The authors conducted a retrospective cohort mortality study on police officers from 1950-2005.

Methods: Standardized Mortality Ratio (SMR) analyses were conducted separately for white male (n=2761), black (n=286), and female (n=259) officers.

Results: Mortality from all causes of death combined for white male officers was significantly higher than expected (SMR=1.20; 95% confidence interval (CI) =1.14-1.26). Increased mortality was also seen for all malignant neoplasms combined (SMR=1.32; 1.19-1.46), all benign neoplasms combined (SMR=2.50; 1.08-4.93), and all diseases of the circulatory system combined (SMR=1.11; 1.02-1.19). The elevated mortality for all malignant neoplasms was primarily due to statistically significant excesses in cancers of the esophagus, colon, respiratory system, Hodgkin's disease and leukemia. Black officers had lower than expected mortality from all causes (SMR=0.45; 0.18-0.92) while female officers had elevated all-cause mortality (SMR=2.17; 1.12-3.79).

Conclusions: Findings of increased risk for malignant neoplasms should be replicated and studied in relation to measured risk factors.

警察队列死亡率：1950-2005。

背景：作者对1950-2005年警察死亡率进行了回顾性队列研究。方法：分别对白人男性（n=2761）、黑人（n=286）和女性（n=259）警官进行标准化死亡率（SMR）分析。结果：白人男性警官的所有死因死亡率显著高于预期(SMR=1.20；95%置信区间(CI) =1.14-1.26)。所有恶性肿瘤合并死亡率也增加(SMR=1.32；1.19-1.46)，所有良性肿瘤合并(SMR=2.50；1.08-4.93)，所有循环系统疾病合并(SMR=1.11；1.02 - -1.19)。所有恶性肿瘤的死亡率升高主要是由于食道癌、结肠癌、呼吸系统癌、霍奇金病和白血病的死亡率过高。黑人警官的全因死亡率低于预期(SMR=0.45；0.18-0.92)，而女性军官的全因死亡率较高(SMR=2.17；1.12 - -3.79)。结论：恶性肿瘤风险增加的发现应该被重复，并与测量的危险因素进行研究。
