abstract: 'Background: External-cause mortality is an important public health issue
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
worldwide. Considering its significance to workers'' health and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities across industries, we aimed to describe the state of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
external-cause mortality and investigate its difference by industry in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Republic of Korea based on data for 2018.Methods: Data obtained from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Statistics Korea and Korean Employment Information System were used.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
External causes of death were divided into three categories (suicide,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transport accident, and others), and death occurred during employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
period or within 90 days after unemployment was regarded as workers''
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
death. We calculated age-and sex-standardized mortalities per 100,000,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) compared to the general population
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and total workers, and mortality rate ratios (RRs) across industries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
using information and communication as a reference. Correlation analyses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between income, education, and mortality were conducted.Results: Age-and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sex-standardized external-cause mortality per 100,000 in all workers was
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
29.4 (suicide: 16.2, transport accident: 6.6, others: 6.6). Compared to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the general population, all external-cause and suicide SMRs were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly lower; however, there was no significant difference in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transport accidents. When compared to total workers, wholesale,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
transportation, and business facilities management showed higher SMR for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
suicide, and agriculture, forestry, and fishing, mining and quarrying,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
construction, transportation and storage, and public administration and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
defense showed higher SMR for transport accidents. A moderate to strong
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
negative correlation was observed between education level and mortality
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
(both age-and sex-standardized mortality rates and SMR compared to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
general population).Conclusion: Inequalities in external-cause
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mortalities from suicide, transport accidents, and other causes were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
found. For reducing the differences, improved policies are needed for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
industries with higher mortalities.(c) 2021 Occupational Safety and
