Abstract
For mining exposures the work-relatedness of morbidity measures and functional organ-related disorders was analysed on the base of data concerning medical screening, occupational exposure and disablement. Morbidity corresponds with intensity of occupational exposure. Using risiko measures results for disorders were interpreted in relation to a hypothesis, which allows to distinguish in our opinion diseases without work-relatedness from work-related and occupational diseases. The availability of a "normal exposed" control group and the choice of a well-defined exposed group, for which the definition of selected diseases as work-related is applicable alone, are decisive for the results. For mining exposures functional disorders of muscular and skeletal system require particular consideration.
