Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Mortality risks among bartenders, waiters and waitresses were examined through a proportional mortality ratio (PMR) analysis of British Columbia death registrations from 1950 through 1978. Amongst male bartenders and waiters the predominant mortality profile involved alcohol- and tobacco-related causes of death. Significantly elevated PMRs were found for cancers of the mouth (PMR = 341), esophagus (PMR = 250), larynx (PMR = 440) and lung (PMR = 133). Deaths due to bronchitis and emphysema (PMR = 164), cirrhosis of the liver (PMR = 305), accidental poisoning due to drugs or alcohol (PMR = 218) and homicide (PMR = 235) also showed significantly increased PMRs. The results for female waitresses and bartenders were comparable. A more detailed assessment of the relative contribution of different lifestyle and environmental factors as mortality risks among bartenders, waiters and waitresses is recommended as it is relevant to public health concerns.
