Research Abstract

Construction workers' Cohort was developed in Fukuoka to evaluate morbidity and mortality of asbestos related diseases. Workers in this cohort are considered to have low to moderate indirect asbestos exposure during their construction work and at risk for developing asbestos related diseases. Among the 80, 000 members of the workers association, approximately 3, 600 workers have participated medical check-up program in each year, and chest images and blood samples were collected on informed consent. Baseline data of construction workers' cohort was now obtained and on the process of further analysis.
