title: [Epidemiological study of diabetes in the occupational environment].
abstract: Fasting blood sugar was determined in 277 subjects with early forms of silicosis during statutory outpatient examinations. Values were related to the clinical and occupational history and objective and blood chemistry parameters. The results showed that epidemiological examination is useful in the prevention and early diagnosis of diabetes in occupational environments.
