To investigate the relationship between the types of chronic diseases and self-reported work disability.
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.
The three most influential diseases on work disability were ophthalmologic diseases, chronic kidney diseases, and cardiovascular diseases during the 15-year follow-up period.
Work disability is strongly and significantly associated with the aforementioned chronic diseases.
探讨慢性病类型与自我报告的工作残疾之间的关系。
我们使用了 2003 年至 2018 年期间进行的第 6 至 21 波韩国劳动力和收入面板研究的数据。新的工作残疾病例定义为那些因健康问题报告工作受限的人。慢性病信息是在调查的第六波期间使用问卷收集的。为了评估慢性病对自我报告工作残疾的影响,使用了 Cox 比例风险模型。
在 15 年的随访期间,对工作残疾影响最大的三种疾病是眼科疾病、慢性肾脏病和心血管疾病。
工作残疾与上述慢性病密切相关,且具有显著相关性。
