Note: PMRs are displayed if greater than 1.20 and N. deaths > 15 for neoplasms and if greater than 1.10 and N. deaths > 30 for diseases. PMRs are adjusted for age and educational level. Age > 20 years. Abbreviations: N: deceased people employed in the sector with the longest duration of employment; PMR: proportional mortality ratio calculated on the longest period of employment; CI: 95% confidence interval; N5: deceased people employed in the sector for less than 5 years; PMR5: proportional mortality ratio calculated on the period of employment in the sector for less than 5 years; N10: deceased people employed in the sector for more than 10 years; PMR10: proportional mortality ratio calculated on the period of employment in the sector for more than 10 years.
