Résumé :	[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS 1gpCR0xR. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. This study assessed the risk of hospitalization among firefighters. Data were derived from a nationally representative sample of 235897 employed men from the National Health Interview Survey. Firefighters aged 30 to 39 years were at significantly increased risk for hospitalization relative to other employed men in the same age group (odds ratio=1.93 ; 95% confidence interval=1.21,3.09). Findings from this study and others support the call for longitudinal studies to monitor the health of this high-risk occupational group.
