RESUMO

Sixty-nine male and 103 female workers aged 45 and over in a cotton spinning mill in Bolton, Lancashire were examined clinically for rheumatic disease and had radiographs taken of the hands and feet and of the cervical, dorsal, and lumbar spine. To these were added the male and female cotton workers aged 45 and over from a random sample of the population of Leigh, giving a total of 117 males and 228 females. They were compared with a control group of 117 males and 228 females from random samples in Leigh and Wensleydale who had never worked in a cotton mill. These were matched by age and sex.
