Mortality Among a Cohort of Older Men Presented: New Orleans, LA, Population Association of America Meetings, April 1988 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Population Association of America Keyword(s): Career Patterns; Health Factors; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Mortality; Occupational Choice; Working Conditions Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper presents findings from an analysis of occupational differentials in mortality among a cohort of older men ages 55 years and older in the United States for the period 1966-1983. The dynamics which characterize socioeconomic differentials in mortality are analyzed by tracking the changes in status that occur throughout the mature worker's occupational career. We find that the mortality of current or last occupation differs from that of the longest occupation, controlling for education, income, health status, and other factors. These differences are consistent with the notion that individuals in physically demanding or debilitating occupations attempt to avoid the health risks associated with these jobs by changing occupations. |
