Abstract
Information from death certificates and veterans' bonuses identified 840 Vietnam veterans and 2515 Vietnam-era veterans who died in Massachusetts during 1972‐1983. Causes of death among Vietnam veterans were compared to Vietnam-era veterans and other male decedents. Standardized PMRs and MORs were both elevated for soft tissue sarcoma compared to Vietnam-era veterans [sPMR = 880, sMOR = 5.16, 95% CI = (2.4, 11.1)], as well as non-veteran males.Keywords
