We use matched Danish health survey and register data to investigate discrepancies between register-based diagnoses and self-reported morbidity. We hypothesize that false negatives (medical diagnoses existing in the register but not reported in the survey) arise partly because individuals fear career repercussions of being discovered suffering a chronic or severe illness that potentially lowers productivity. We find evidence of substantial underreporting, which is indeed systematically higher for individuals in the labor market.
我们利用匹配的丹麦健康调查和登记数据来研究基于登记的诊断与自我报告发病率之间的差异。我们假设假阴性（登记中存在但调查中未报告的医疗诊断）部分归因于个人担心被发现患有慢性或严重疾病而导致潜在生产力下降的职业后果。我们发现了大量漏报的证据，而对于劳动力市场中的个体，这种漏报的程度确实更高。
