Abstract
To determine and compare the prevalence and odds of chronic diseases among ex-and current miners.Fourteen-year pooled data from the National Health Interview Survey between 2004 and 2017 were analyzed. Ex- and current miners ages 18-64 years were defined based on employment status at the time of NHIS interview. We calculated age-adjusted prevalence rates and odds ratios of association of chronic diseases. The analysis was adjusted for respondent's age, sex, race, marital status, poverty-income ratio, health insurance, and smoking status.Ex-miners have significantly increased prevalence of most chronic diseases. The age-adjusted prevalence and the adjusted odds of heart disease, cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and psychological stress were significantly higher among ex-miners as compared to current miners.Ex-miners have worse health outcomes that may persist for years after leaving the mining industry.
