The rate of absenteeism due to the circulatory system diseases--one of the major causes of work disablement--has largely risen recently. Those diseases constitute a serious health problem within the sickness absenteeism of workers over 40. The presented analysis refers to the impact of the so called non-health-related variables and certain variables indirectly affecting workers' health upon the absenteeism caused by the circulatory system diseases (expressed by the number of absenteeism days annually and average duration of absenteeism case). As investigating tools, multidimensional methods of statistical analysis (multiple regression model) have been used to select the factors bearing a statistically significant effect upon the sickness absenteeism caused by circulatory diseases. The developed models are related to absenteeism of men and women aged 39, over 40 and totally. The results of the analysis demonstrated that both absenteeism of men and women was largely affected by occupational and work-environment-related factors (exposure, worker's affiliation to some working group, piece-work payments). The absenteeism of men over 40 was significantly affected by age, whereas the absenteeism of women was affected by such variables as family "size", and traveling to work. Furthermore, absenteeism caused by circulatory diseases is accounted for by the variables directly determining the health condition, such as health self-estimation and absenteeism rate caused by those diseases prior to the investigation.
因循环系统疾病（导致工作致残的主要原因之一）导致的缺勤率最近大幅上升。这些疾病在40岁以上工人的病假缺勤中构成了严重的健康问题。所呈现的分析涉及所谓的非健康相关变量以及某些间接影响工人健康的变量对循环系统疾病导致的缺勤（以每年缺勤天数和缺勤病例平均持续时间表示）的影响。作为调查工具，使用了多维统计分析方法（多元回归模型）来选择对循环系统疾病导致的病假缺勤有统计学显著影响的因素。所建立的模型涉及39岁、40岁以上以及所有年龄段男性和女性的缺勤情况。分析结果表明，男性和女性的缺勤在很大程度上都受到职业和工作环境相关因素（接触情况、工人所属的某个工作群体、计件工资）的影响。40岁以上男性的缺勤受年龄显著影响，而女性的缺勤则受诸如家庭“规模”和通勤等变量的影响。此外，循环系统疾病导致的缺勤可由直接决定健康状况的变量来解释，如健康自我评估以及调查前由这些疾病导致的缺勤率。
