title: [Morbidity patterns among workers in the porcelain industry].
abstract: Morbidity patterns were studied among female workers engaged in the production of porcelain. The above patterns were found to be related to the worker's occupation and in a lesser measure to her age. The greatest case rate was among those female workers engaged in paint grinding whose work involved the use of organic solvents, with the least one recordable in those engaged in burning operations exposed to radiant heat. Age-related case rate in the group of women of basic occupations was at its highest at ages 30 to 39 years, with the above rate at its lowest in the group within 20 to 24 age bracket, acute respiratory viral infections coming first.
