Does occupation explain gender and other differences in work-related eye injury hospitalization rates?

Objective: We sought to determine whether demographic differences in eye injury rates persist after adjusting for occupational exposure.

Methods: On-duty eye injury hospitalizations were linked to occupation among active-duty US Army personnel.

Results: Eye injury rates were higher for white soldiers, men, and for younger soldiers, even after adjusting for occupational group and specific job titles using multivariate models.
