"The aim of the report was to describe the frequency of asbestosis and mesothelioma among participants of the GB Asbestos Survey, and to identify factors associated with the risk of death with these diseases.
Among the 98,912 survey participants included in the analysis, there were 15,557 deaths between 1971 and 2005. Altogether 477 asbestosis and 649 mesothelioma deaths were identified on the Asbestosis and Mesothelioma Registers respectively. The underlying cause of death was asbestosis for 116 (24%) of the asbestosis cases, and mesothelioma for 398 (64%) of the mesothelioma cases on the registers."
