abstract: 'Background There is wide evidence that women present longer duration of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sickness absence (SA) than men. Musculoskeletal disorders are influenced
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
by gender due to the sexual division of work.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Methods 354 432 episodes of non-work-related SA due to musculoskeletal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disorders, which were registered in Catalonia between 2005 and 2008,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were selected. The outcome variable was the duration of SA. Frailty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
survival models, stratified by sex and adjusted for explanatory
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variables (age, employment status, case management, economic activity
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and repeated episode), were fitted to study the association between each
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variable and the duration of SA, obtaining HRs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Results Women presented longer SA episodes than men in all variable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
categories. A trend from shorter to longer duration of SA with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increasing age was observed in men, whereas in women, it had a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
fluctuating pattern. Analysing most frequent diagnostic subgroups from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the sample, only `non-specific lumbago'' and `sciatic lumbago'' showed
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
these age patterns. Frailty survival models applied to these 2 subgroups
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
confirmed the described age patterns in SA duration.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Conclusions Women have longer non-work-related SA due to musculoskeletal
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disorders than men. However, while men have longer absences as their age
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
increases, in women some older groups have shorter absences than younger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
ones. These findings could be explained by gender differences in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
interaction between paid work and family demands. Our results highlight
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the need for continued research on SA from a gender perspective, in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
order to improve management of SA in terms of clinical practice and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
public policies.'
