Abstract
An occupational population is characterized as a basis for epidemiological study. Parameters include age, smoking history, years of work, job title, all medical diagnoses by 3-digit ICD code, and selected Iaboratory test results. By example analyses differences are examined in the incidence of chrome bronchitis and circulatory system disease by smoking history and job title. The data base includes coal gasification plant workers and surface lignite minors in Kosovo, Yugoslavia. Because of the national system of socialized medicine, similar data are available for all worker organizations in Yugoslavia.
