abstract="Causes of death among 375 union-affiliated male lumberjacks throughout Sweden were studied. The proportional mortality rates for ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, all other circulatory diseases, violent death, all cancers and &quot;other causes&quot; were compared to the general Swedish [male] mortality pattern. There was a significantly elevated mortality from violent death and a slight numerical excess of deaths due to ischemic heart diseases, cerebrovascular diseases and all other circulatory diseases. There were fewer deaths than expected for cancer and &quot;other causes.&quot; A case-referent type of analysis showed an increased standard mortality ratio for kidney cancer and cancer of the lymphatic and hematopoietic system.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
