Abstract: | ProblemThis study estimated the hazard ratio for disability pension retirement (DPR) for persons who have experienced a work injury causing absence lasting at least one day after the accidental injury occurred and to estimate the fraction of DPR attributable to work injuries.Methods:A total of 4,217 male and 4,105 female employees from a national survey were followed up for subsequent DPR.Results and impact on industry and government:Having had a work injury was a strong predictor of DPR among men. After control for age, smoking, body mass index, body postures, and physical demands, the hazard ratio (HR) among those employees who had ever experienced a work injury was 1.80 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.20-2.68). No association was found among women.Summary:Having had a reportable work injury is a strong predictor of subsequent DPR for men. |
