Lowered overall mortality among nurses was seen for degenerative heart disease and for cerebrovascular accidents. Significantly elevated PMR values were observed for cancer of the breast and ovary in nurses of age 20\u201365 years. PMRs were significantly elevated for cancer of the pancreas and leukemia among those age 20 years and older.
