abstract: 'Objective: Western women increasingly delay having children to advance
their career, and pregnancy is considered to be riskier among older
women. In Norway, this development surprisingly coincides with increased
sickness absence among young pregnant women, rather than their older
counterparts. This paper tests the hypothesis that young pregnant women
have a higher number of sick days because this age group includes a
higher proportion of working class women, who are more prone to sickness
absence.
Design: A zero-inflated Poisson regression was conducted on the
Norwegian population registry.
Participants: All pregnant employees giving birth in 2004-2008 were
included in the study. A total number of 216 541 pregnancies were
observed among 180 483 women.
Outcome measure: Number of sick days.
Results: Although the association between age and number of sick days
was U-shaped, pregnant women in their early 20s had a higher number of
sick days than those in their mid-40s. This was particularly the case
for pregnant women with previous births. In this group, 20-year-olds had
12.6 more sick days than 45-year-olds; this age difference was reduced
to 6.3 after control for class. Among women undergoing their first
pregnancy, 20-year-olds initially had 1.2 more sick days than
45-year-olds, but control for class altered this age difference. After
control for class, 45-year-old first-time pregnant women had 2.9 more
sick days than 20-year-olds with corresponding characteristics.
Conclusions: The negative association between age and sickness absence
was partly due to younger age groups including more working class women,
who were more prone to sickness absence. Young pregnant women''s needs
for job adjustments should not be underestimated.'
