초록

Objective: To investigate the relationship between the types of chronic diseases and self-reported work disability. Methods: We used data from the Korean Labor and Income Panel Study from waves 6 to 21 conducted from 2003 to 2018. New cases of work disability were defined as those who reported that they had work limitations due to their health problems. Information on chronic disease was collected using a questionnaire during the sixth wave of the survey. To evaluate the effects of chronic disease on self-reporting work disability, Cox proportional hazard models were used. Results: The three most influential diseases on work disability were ophthalmologic diseases, chronic kidney diseases, and cardiovascular diseases during the 15-year follow-up period. Conclusion: Work disability is strongly and significantly associated with the aforementioned chronic diseases.
