先前的报告表明，加州的致命职业事故的粗发生率至少自1972年以来已大幅下降。我们检验了这一假设，即这一观察结果是劳动力人口向低风险年龄组和行业转移的人为因素。对1972年至1983年工人赔偿数据的审查确定了2，483例男性致命伤害。粗利率平均每年下降7.0%（p<0.005）。年龄和行业调整将这一下降降低到每年6.7%，但趋势仍然显著（p<0.005）。因此，致命伤害率的下降不是人为的，需要进一步的研究来解释。在一项单独的分析中，发现特定年龄的死亡率在大多数行业中遵循双峰模式，在年龄的极端情况下观察到最高的死亡率。这些结果与以前的一些研究相矛盾。然而，这些研究没有调整年轻员工兼职工作时间表的流行程度。
Prior reports have indicated that the crude incidence of fatal occupational accidents in California has substantially declined since at least 1972. We tested the hypothesis that this observation was an artifact of demographic shifts in the workforce towards lowerrisk age groups and industries. Review of worker's compensation data from 1972 to 1983 identified 2,483 fatal injuries among males. Crude rates declined by an average of 7.0% annually (p<.005). Age and industry adjustment reduced this decline to 6.7% annually, but the trend was still significant (p<.005). Thus, the decline in fatal injury rates is not artifactual and will require further study to explain. In a separate analysis, age‐specific death rates were found to follow a bimodal pattern in most industries with the highest rates observed at the extremes of age. These results conflict with those of several previous studies. However, these studies did not adjust for the prevalence of part‐time work schedules among younger employees.
