The occupation of commercial fishing is recognized as a comparatively stressful and hazardous job characterized by a myriad of risks to health, including high rates of job-related injury, morbidity, and mortality. Nonetheless, systematic study of fisher health is limited. This paper examines a particularly understudied aspect of illness among fishers: the physical and social contexts, pathways, and potential for adverse disease interactions. The focus of the paper is on a biosocial disease process called syndemics, which increases the health burdens of this population. The paper is presented as an initial testing of the hypothesis that a “lens” of syndemics improves occupational health research and advocacy for commercial fishermen who face a substantial burden of biosocial challenges.

海洋流行病：不利的疾病相互作用和渔民生计的压力

商业捕鱼业被认为是一项压力相对较大且危险的工作，其特点是存在多种健康风险，包括较高的工伤率、发病率和死亡率。尽管如此，对渔民健康的系统研究仍然有限。本文研究了渔民疾病的一个特别未被充分研究的方面：身体和社会背景、途径以及不良疾病相互作用的可能性。该论文的重点是一种称为综合症的生物社会疾病过程，它增加了该人群的健康负担。该论文是对以下假设的初步检验：综合流行病的“镜头”可以改善职业健康研究和对面临巨大生物社会挑战负担的商业渔民的宣传。
