  • Title: Using occupational history to pinpoint the diagnosis.
    Author: Landrigan PJ, Baker DB.
    Journal: Geriatrics; 1991 Jun; 46(6):61-7. PubMed ID: 2040460.
    Abstract:
    Occupational exposures lead to a significant number of deaths and new cases of illness among the elderly each year. However, physicians are often unskilled in occupational history-taking and are unfamiliar with the associations between toxic exposures and disease. This article offers physicians a systematic approach to taking an occupational history, then describes the more common types of occupational disease in the elderly and an approach for their recognition.
