PMR Charts and Tables for Cancer and Chronic Disease

The PMR Charts and Tables query system offers the researcher quick access to selected chronic disease PMRs for 1984-1998 by selected industries or sub sectors. Over 3000 charts display PMRs for chronic disease by industry sectors and industry PMRs for site-specific chronic disease. Twenty-two site-specific cancers and 17 cardiovascular, neurodegenerative, diabetes, and renal disease multiple cause PMRs are presented for the largest fifteen industries in each of eight sectors: agriculture, forestry, fishing; mining; construction; manufacturing, wholesale & retail trade; transportation, warehousing & utilities; healthcare & social assistance; and services.

This system presents the results of a multiple cause death analysis of death by industry based on data from more than 11,000,000 death records for adults, race and gender combined, age 18 and above that died during the years 1984-1998 in twenty-seven U.S. states. The states are Alaska, Colorado, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

Chronic disease PMRs were computed for 22 selected sites of cancer and 17 chronic disease categories for the 11 largest industries of interest within each sector. The Chronic disease PMR Charts query system displays charts and accompanying tables for the selected cancers, chronic disease, and industry categories (Chronic Disease and Industry Categories). The industries and chronic disease causes of death selected for display within each large sector were structured with assistance from the NIOSH National Occupational Research Agenda (NORA) Sector managers. The purpose of the charts was to assist sector councils to identify elevated mortality risk and to identify gaps in industrial mortality and prevention.
