TY - JOUR PY - 1975// TI - Absenteeism among survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima JO - British journal of industrial medicine A1 - Meigs, J. W. A1 - Blot, W. J. A1 - Inoue, Shimpei A1 - Meigs, C. R. SP - 193 EP - 202 VL - 32 IS - 3 N2 - Atomic bomb survivors who worked at the Atomic Bomb Casualty Commission in Hiroshima during the years 1968-71 and held handbooks identifying them as survivors took significantly more days of both annual leave and sick leave than did matched and paired control subjects. These differences in leave-taking patterns are considered to be due to behavioural causes as they could not be attributed to radiation dose-response effects.
