Occupational Mortality in the Armed Services*

P. J. Blackburn

Royal Army Medical Corps

This article intends to show that the Services mortality experience has been somewhat misrepresented in recent publications, and the reasons for this. I have also pointed out some areas where we are well aware that our experience is below average, and have highlighted accidental deaths mainly due to road traffic accidents and deaths in soldiers from ischaemic heart disease, as areas of concern.

Accepted        1 October 1981

Requests for reprints should be addressed to: Col. P. J. Blackburn, Ministry of Defence (AMO 5), First Avenue House, High Holborn, London.

*Paper presented at the Joint Services and Faculty of Occupational Medicine Conference held at the Institute of Naval Medicine, Alverstoke, 29-30 January 1981.
