title: [Prolapsed cervical intervertebral disk in professional drivers in Denmark 1981-1990].
abstract: The aim of this study was to estimate the risk of being hospitalized due to prolapsed cervical interverteral disc among male professional drivers in Denmark. A cohort consisting of all economically active persons in Denmark, identified January 1981, gives information on the most important occupation during 1980. The cohort was followed for ten years. Additional data on occupational exposures were extracted from a national survey. Occupational groups such as bus and taxi-cab drivers were found to have an increased risk, of cervical prolapse as did the group of professional drivers as a whole.
