In addition, detailed demographic data on the industrial and occupational distribution of female workers are provided as one basis for setting priorities for women's occupational cancer studies. These demographic data are supplemented by analysis of specific potential exposures to carcinogens and other hazardous substances.

Based on mortality through December 31, 1985, standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) for all cancers was 1.03 in women (95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.9 to 1.17) and 1.18 in men (95% CI = 1.10 to 1.26).

Exposure assessment and gender differences. 暴露评估和性别差异。

{"title":"Exposure assessment and gender differences.","authors":"G N Greenberg,&nbsp;J M Dement","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Exposure assessments for occupational epidemiological studies are typically conducted to (1) establish risk gradients with exposure, evaluating a potential causal relationship, or (2) estimate exposure-response dosimetry for quantitative risk calculations. Unavailable quantitative exposure data require use of surrogate or qualitative measures. Differences in women's employment patterns may make surrogate measures less reliable, resulting in systematic errors. Exposures associated with traditionally female careers have not been fully evaluated. Occupational cohorts are often defined to include workers with a minimum employment duration or employment for some minimum time in exposure-related jobs, thereby excluding many women workers. Even when included among studied and exposed worker cohorts, women's domestic exposures may confound risk evaluation. Male/female differences in xenobiotic uptake, distribution, kinetics, and metabolism may affect the relationship between external exposure and resulting biologically effective dose.

Women in the formaldehyde industry: their exposures and their jobs. 甲醛行业的女性:她们的暴露和她们的工作。
P A Stewart, A Blair

This report used data from an epidemiological study of formaldehyde workers to compare formaldehyde exposures between men and women. Exposures were estimated from historical monitoring results, walk-through workplace surveys, interviews with long-term workers, and reviews of historical records. The mean of the exposures in the first job, the last job, and the highest exposed job were calculated by gender. Differences were found when all subjects were included in the analysis (men having higher exposures, on average, than women), but when nonexposed subjects were removed (40% of women, 6% of men), differences were minor. There was a substantial difference in the estimated peak exposure between men and women that decreased, but remained, when only exposed subjects were included. Evaluation of exposures in 1940 to 1945, 1965, and 1979 found that women had a higher average exposure than men in 1940 to 1945, but this pattern was reversed in 1965. By 1979, the average difference between the two genders had disappeared. A comparison of cumulative exposure found that exposed women had half the total exposure of exposed men. More men than women were exposed to other chemicals.
