Discussion When a population of active and retired workers, embracing a large age-range, is followed for a number of years, the SMR is usually higher in the older age-bands. Figure 1 illustrates this trend, showing the SMR's in four successive age-bands within a population of 6678 male rubber workers, aged 40 or more Jan. 1, 1964 and followed for ten years.(The composition and follow-up of this study population have been described elsewhere. 5)The SMR for the full age-range studied, 40-84, is 98. For the active employment age-range, 40-64, the SMR is 87; whereas for the older, post-retirement age-range, 65-84, it is 103. Within the 40-64 age-range, the SMR increases from 81 (ages 40-54) to 89 (ages 55-64). Likewise, in the post-retirement years, the SMR continues to increase, from 95 (ages 65-74) to 113 (ages 75-84).
