| Abstract |
The Work Ability Index (WAI) is a widely used research tool. The objective of this study was to develop reference WAI data for Chinese workers by age, gender and work content. The WAI questionnaire was administered to a random sample of 10,218 workers (including manual, professional, clerical and semi skilled workers) aged 16-69 years in western China. Findings are discussed. This study provides gender, age and work content specific WAI reference values that will help enable comparison and intervention evaluation in future studies. |
