Abstract
The 10-yr mortality in a sample of adult inhabitants of Cracow, Poland, was analyzed according to the levels of air pollution in the area of residence. Smoking habits and several social and occupational factors were considered in the analysis, which was carried out with the use of a multivariate method for categorical variables. Among men the main effect of air pollution was marginally significant, but there was a significant interaction between air pollution and smoking. Among women no such relation could be detected. Also, the association between female mortality and smoking was not significant. From other factors considered in the analysis, only exposure at work to dust, high humidity and variable temperature was related to mortality in both men and women. In addition among women, higher mortality was related to a lower level of education.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
