OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to compare the association between age and disability length across common chronic conditions.
METHODS
Analysis of 39,915 nonwork-related disability claims with a diagnosis of arthritis, diabetes, hypertension, coronary artery disease, depression, low back pain, chronic pulmonary disease, or cancer. Ordinary least squares regression models examined age-length of disability association across chronic conditions.
RESULTS
Arthritis (76.6 days), depression (63.2 days), and cancer (64.9 days) were associated with longest mean disability lengths; hypertension was related to shortest disability lengths (41.5 days). Across chronic conditions, older age was significantly associated with longer work disability. The age-length of disability association was most significant for chronic pulmonary disease and cancer. The relationship between age and length of work disability was linear among most chronic conditions.
CONCLUSIONS
Work disability prevention strategies should consider both employee age and chronic condition diagnosis.
目的
本研究旨在比较常见慢性病中年龄与残疾时长之间的关联。
方法
对39915份与工作无关的残疾索赔进行分析，这些索赔涉及关节炎、糖尿病、高血压、冠状动脉疾病、抑郁症、腰痛、慢性肺病或癌症的诊断。普通最小二乘回归模型研究了慢性病中年龄与残疾时长的关联。
结果
关节炎（76.6天）、抑郁症（63.2天）和癌症（64.9天）的平均残疾时长最长；高血压与最短的残疾时长（41.5天）相关。在各种慢性病中，年龄较大与较长的工作残疾显著相关。年龄与残疾时长的关联在慢性肺病和癌症中最为显著。在大多数慢性病中，年龄与工作残疾时长之间的关系是线性的。
结论
工作残疾预防策略应同时考虑员工年龄和慢性病诊断。
