title: [Gender differences in death causes and survival rate of silicosis patients].
abstract: The authors analyzed structure of mortality and survival rate in 284 silicosis patients over 14 years. Findings are that the mortality structures among the females and the males with silicosis are different. In both groups compared, the first place among death causes was occupied by cardiovascular diseases. The females with silicosis were more frequent to die with broncho-pulmonary conditions, vs. the males of the same group. However the survival rate among the females over the studied period was higher than that among the males.
