Abstract |
The objective of this study was to assess associations between diabetes and occupational injury. Data from the 1997 to 2005 National Health Interview Survey comprised a sample of 195,284 adult workers. Multivariate logistic regression analysis assessed associations between diabetes and occupational injuries, adjusting for age, sex, race and education. There was no overall significant association between diabetes and occupational injury (adjusted odds ratio (OR) 1.18). However, there were increased risks among subgroups of diabetics who reported no current diabetes therapy (OR 1.87) or duration of diabetes longer than 12 years (OR 1.83). Implications of these findings are discussed. |
