Performance of population specific job exposure matrices (JEMs): European collaborative analyses on occupational risk factors for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease with job exposure matrices (ECOJEM)

Table 6

Effects of the distribution of subjects per job on the performance of population specific JEM (resampling (two series of 100 draws) performed in men from the French survey)

First series Second series
Men (mean (SD)) 849 (6.4) 3171 (4.1)
Different jobs (mean (SD)) 110 (5.0) 184 (3.6)
Self reported exposure (mean (SD)) (%) 25.5 (1.5) 25.8 (0.5)
Men in each category of job (mean (SD)) (%):
 <10 40.2 (2.6) 14.4 (0.8)
 10–19 17.9 (3.2) 19.1 (1.4)
 20–49 25.9 (5.2) 20.4 (1.8)
 ⩾50 16.0 (4.4) 46.0 (1.5)
Significant positive associations (between exposure and FEV1) out of 100 draws (n):
 Self reported exposure  6  8
 Pp JEM 16 61
 P10–50 JEM 15 63
