Abstract

Objective: This study explored the risk of respiratory cancer and non-malignant respiratory disease (NMRD)-related mortality among older construction workers.

Methods: Analyzed data from the 1992-2010 RAND Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and the HRS National Death Index - Cause of Death file. About 25,183 workers aged 50 years and older were examined, including 5,447 decedents and 19,736 survivors, of which 1,460 reported their longest job was in construction. Multinomial logistic regression assessed the differences in mortality between workers' longest occupations, controlling for confounders.

Results: After adjusting for smoking and demographics, construction workers were almost twice as likely to die from respiratory cancer (OR = 1.65; CI: 1.10-2.47) or NMRD (OR = 1.73; CI: 1.16-2.58) compared to white-collar workers.

Conclusions: This study adds to the growing evidence that respiratory cancer and NMRD are frequently associated with construction exposure.

老年建筑工人中与呼吸系统癌症和非恶性呼吸系统疾病相关的死亡率--来自健康与退休研究的发现》（Respiratory Cancer and Non-Malignant Respiratory Disease-Related Mortality among Older Construction Workers-Findings from the Health and Retirement Study）。

目的：本研究探讨了老年建筑工人患呼吸系统癌症和非恶性呼吸系统疾病（NMRD）的风险：本研究探讨了老年建筑工人患呼吸系统癌症和非恶性呼吸系统疾病（NMRD）相关死亡的风险：分析1992-2010年兰德健康与退休研究（HRS）和HRS国家死亡指数-死因档案中的数据。调查了约 25183 名 50 岁及以上的工人，包括 5447 名死者和 19736 名幸存者，其中 1460 人称其最长的工作是建筑业。多项式逻辑回归评估了工人最长职业之间死亡率的差异，并对混杂因素进行了控制：结果：在对吸烟和人口统计学因素进行调整后，建筑工人死于呼吸系统癌症（OR = 1.65；CI：1.10-2.47）或NMRD（OR = 1.73；CI：1.16-2.58）的几率几乎是白领工人的两倍：这项研究补充了越来越多的证据，表明呼吸系统癌症和非肿瘤性视网膜病变经常与建筑接触有关。
