Abstract

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the types of chronic diseases and self-reported work disability. Methods: We used data from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study from waves 6 to 21 conducted from 2003 to 2018. New cases of work disability were defined as those who reported that they had work limitations due to their health problems. Information on chronic disease was collected using a questionnaire during the sixth wave of the survey. To evaluate the effects of chronic disease on self-reporting work disability, Cox proportional hazard models were used. Results: The three most influential diseases on work disability were ophthalmologic diseases, chronic kidney diseases, and cardiovascular diseases during the 15-year follow-up period. Conclusion: Work disability is strongly and significantly associated with the aforementioned chronic diseases. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are the largest contributor to disability worldwide. In addition to burdening individuals, there are large socioeconomic costs involved. MSD accounts for a considerable use of health services, and for the greatest proportion of lost productivity in the workplace. In Norway, MSD are the most common cause of sickness absence and represent the largest health challenge for workers in terms of prevalence and cost measured in worse health and disability in addition to sickness absence. The study was founded by the Research Council of Norway (280431/GE).
