occupational mortality

occupational mortality
rates and causes of death in relation to different jobs, occupational and socioeconomic groups, or social class. Because some occupations have older incumbents than others (e.g. judges) allowance for age bias is made by comparing either standardized mortality ratios for those aged 15-64 years or related but less familiar indices, such as comparative mortality figures or proportional mortality ratios.
