|
Main aim of cohort, please briefly describe the main objectives of the cohort
|
| |
Evaluate the association between occupational exposure to cosmic radiation and circadian rhythm disruption and cause-specific mortality
|
|

|
| |
- Industry / occupation-based
|
|

Inclusion criteria
|
| |
The cohort was assembled from the personnel records of Pan Am, which are available for employees who stopped working for Pan Am in 1953 or later. Employees who were employed for at least 1 year as a flight attendant before Pan Am ceased operation in 1991, were U.S. citizens when they were hired, and who worked at least 1 day after January 1, 1953 were included in the cohort.
