Abstract |
The objective of this study was to investigate changes over time in factors associated with long-term sickness absence (LTSA) in Sweden, and in the fraction of LTSA attributable to these risk factors in 1986-1989 and in 2002. Data from two earlier Swedish studies conducted before and after extensive socioeconomic changes in the labour market during the 1990s were analyzed. The results confirm consistent associations between LTSA and several established risk factors, namely female sex (odds ratio 1.84). They also reveal a change in the risk panorama. Other findings are discussed. |
