Outline of Final Research Achievements

In 2007, we had conducted a retrospective cohort study on 1907 residents near an asbestos product manufacturing plant. In the present study, we observed mortality among the cohort until December, 2012. Based on the estimated asbestos concentration, we classified the residents into four groups and evaluated mortality among each of the groups. The analysis showed that the numbers of lung cancer deceased persons without occupational asbestos exposure were 9 in men and 4 in women, and standard mortality ratios were 2.40 (95% confidence interval: 1.10-4.55) and 3.27 (0.89-8.39), respectively. This finding suggests that risk of lung cancer mortality increased among residents near an asbestos product manufacturing plant.
