Add to ORKGObjectiveThis study examines differences in chronic health outcomes between coal, uranium, metal, and nonmetal miners.MethodsIn a cross-sectional study using data from a health screening program for current and former New Mexico miners, log-binomial logistic regression models were used to estimate relative risks of respiratory and heart disease, cancer, osteoarthritis, and back pain associated with mining in each sector as compared with coal, adjusting for other relevant risk factors.ResultsDifferential risks in angina, pulmonary symptoms, asthma, cancer, osteoarthritis, and back pain between mining sectors were found.ConclusionsNew Mexico miners experience different chronic health challenges across sectors. These results demonstrate the im...
