    A mortality study of newspaper web pressmen found overall mortality was similar to the general population. However, elevated risks for leukemia, kidney cancer, and liver cirrhosis were observed in this occupational group.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Epidemiology
    • Environmental Health

    Background:

    • Newspaper web pressmen may face occupational exposures.
    • Understanding the long-term health risks for this group is important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the mortality patterns of newspaper web pressmen.
    • To compare cause-specific mortality in this cohort to the general U.S. white male population.

    Main Methods:

    • A cohort mortality study was conducted on 1,361 newspaper web pressmen.
    • Vital status was determined for 91% of the cohort, with death certificates obtained for most decedents.
    • Cause-specific mortality was analyzed using a modified life-table technique and compared to U.S. white male population data.

    Main Results:

    • Overall mortality was similar to expected rates.
    • A significant excess of deaths was observed for leukemia (7 vs. 2.8 expected) and kidney cancer (5 vs. 1.6 expected).
    • A significant excess of deaths due to cirrhosis of the liver (17 vs. 8.3 expected) was also noted.

    Conclusions:

    • While overall mortality was not elevated, specific cancer sites (leukemia, kidney) and liver cirrhosis showed increased risk in newspaper web pressmen.
    • These findings suggest potential occupational health concerns for this group requiring further investigation.
