Abstract

A 6 years follow-up study of mortality among Danish carpenters and cabinet makers (40 000 persons) shows an SMR of 82 in the group of non-retired and an SMR of 70 in the group of retired union members. No major causes of death except nasal cancer were significantly above the national average. Problems of methodology in using retired workers in the occupational mortality studies are discussed.
