背景：与其他职业相比，某些职业更有可能暴露于COVID-19。本描述性研究旨在探索马萨诸塞州工人因COVID-19死亡的职业差异。方法：收集2020年3月1日至7月31日期间马萨诸塞州死于COVID-19的人的死亡证明。对职业信息进行编码，并根据职业计算年龄调整死亡率。结果：在有可用职业信息的16-64岁MA居民中，有555人死亡，年龄调整死亡率为每10万工人16.4人。在11个职业群体中，包括医疗支持、运输和材料搬运，工人的死亡率高于整体工人。西班牙裔和黑人工人的年龄调整后死亡率是整体白色工人的四倍多，在高风险职业群体中的死亡率也高于白人。结论：应努力保护本报告中确定的高风险职业的工人免受COVID-19暴露。
Background: Exposure to COVID-19 is more likely among certain occupations compared with others. This descriptive study seeks to explore occupational differences in mortality due to COVID-19 among workers in Massachusetts.Methods: Death certificates of those who died from COVID-19 in Massachusetts between March 1 and July 31, 2020 were collected. Occupational information was coded and age-adjusted mortality rates were calculated according to occupation.Results: There were 555 deaths among MA residents of age 16-64, with usable occupation information, resulting in an age-adjusted mortality rate of 16.4 per 100,000 workers. Workers in 11 occupational groups including healthcare support and transportation and material moving had mortality rates higher than that for workers overall. Hispanic and Black workers had age-adjusted mortality rates more than four times higher than that for White workers overall and also had higher rates than Whites within high-risk occupation groups.Conclusion: Efforts should be made to protect workers in high-risk occupations identified in this report from COVID-19 exposure.
