煤矿工人的胃癌发病率有所增加2，总体超额死亡率为 30-50%，在南威尔士部分地区高达五倍。 3 如果要在西方进行胃癌筛查具有成本效益，则可能需要识别高危人群，并且如果要利用消化不良来识别特别高危人群，例如煤矿工人，那么我们必须了解我们正在研究的人群中消化不良的发生率以及其与一般人群的差异程度。因此，我们对一组煤矿工人和一组年龄和性别相匹配的普通人群进行了研究，看看两组之间消化不良的发生率是否存在差异，以期筛查出这一胃癌高危人群。
Coalminers have an increased incidence of gastric cancer' 2 with an overall excess mortality of 30-50%, rising as high as fivefold in parts of south Wales.3 If screening for gastric cancer is to be cost effective in the West high risk groups will probably need to be identified and if dyspepsia is to be used to identify a particularly high risk group, such as coalminers, then we must know the rate ofdyspepsia in the group we are studying and the extent to which it differs from the general population. We have therefore studied a group of coalminers and an age and sex matched group of subjects from the general population to see if the rates ofdyspepsia differ between the two groups with a view to screening this high risk group for gastric cancer.
