| Additional information regarding sample selection. | The first three groups included :1) 80 miners with a moderate level of exposure to coal mine dust, normal chest radiography (00)2) 80 miners with a high level of exposure and a normal radiography3) 80 coal miners with a high level of exposure and an anormal radiography (57 with a 01 radio and 23 with a 10 radio). These three groups of miners were matched for age and tobacco. The fourth group of 20 coal miners with a pneumoconiosis (11 radio or more) was included at the second survey. |
| Database objective | |
| Main objective |
The study of Lorraine Miners was set up in 1990 with 2 main objectives.
- To estimate the predictive value of chest tomodensitometry and of sensitive functional tests in the development of peumoconioses. - To test specific hypotheses about the physiology of emphysema and fibrosis using biological markers: proteases/antiproteases, oxidative/antioxidative and degradation/repair balances. The study of genetics has subsequently been developped. |
