Life-style in occupational cancer.
Data derived from the census report of 1970-1972 concerning occupational mortality in England and Wales have been analyzed in the light of particular hazards in work and life-style. For all cancer deaths there is a gradient rising from the highest social class to the lowest. Considering deaths among 25 occupational orders and the expected numbers for each order, it can be calculated that social class accounts for about 88% of the variation in cancer mortality.
