FAKTORER SOM PAAVERKAR OMSAETTNINGEN BLAND YRKESFOERARE. EN RETROSPEKTIV KOHORTSTUDIE

The aim of the investigation was to study the factors influencing the turnover of professional drivers. The cohort included 1731 men who were members of the Swedish Transport Workers' Union in 1974. The investigation covered the period from 1974 to 1985. A questionnaire on occupation since 1974 was sent to 1567 subjects (91% of the cohort). 84% replied to the questionnaire. 55% of the subjects were still working as professional drivers. 29% had switched to another trade, and 14% had retired. The most common reasons for leaving the trade were working hours, musculoskeletal complaints and salary. 123 subjects died between 1974-1985. There was a high mortality in cardiovascular diseases.
