V primerjavi s smrtnostjo vseh moških prebivalcev Slovenije v izbranih starostnih skupinah smo ugotovili manjšo smrtnost zaposlenih železničarjev (SMR 0,8), zaposlenih na delovnih mestih s posebnim zdravstvenim varstvom (SMR 0,5) in kumulativno smrtnost kohort redno upokojenih (SMRR 0,7). Enako smrtnost smo ugotovili pri treh najpogostejših vzrokih smrti po MKB, ki zajemajo 88% umrlih v letu 1991 (SMR 1,0).
The most important results of the research comparing the study group with the general Slovene male population are: SMR of the employed railroad workers is 0.8; SMR of employees occupying specific job positions in railway traffic is 0.5; the cumulative SMR of the cohorts of railroad workers in normal retirement is 0.7; the 1991 SMR of employed railroad workers by three most frequent causes of death classified according to the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-9) is 1.0 (comprising 88% of the deceased);
