The use of five-year age intervals will introduce a bias when mortality or morbidity rates for a cohort are compared with incidence rates from the general population. In a cohort of Swedish machining workers, the expected mortality and morbidity rates from cancer were reduced by about 5 per cent when one-year age intervals were used instead of five-year age intervals.
