ABSTRACT
AIM:
To evaluate labour market outcomes in type 1 or type 2 diabetes.METHODS:
Individuals with type 1 (n = 431) and type 2 diabetes (n = 4047) were identified in Danish national registers from 1994 to 2011 and compared with individuals without diabetes (n = 101 295). Multi-state Cox proportional hazards analyses estimated hazard ratios (HR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for transitions between work, sickness absence, unemployment and disability pension.RESULTS:
We observed significantly higher HR of sickness absence in type 1 diabetes (women 1.34, 95% CI 1.12-1.62; men 1.43, 1.01-2.03) and type 2 diabetes (women 1.46, 95% CI 1.35-1.58; men 1.64, 1.46-1.85) compared with people without diabetes. HR of unemployment was higher for men with type 1 diabetes (1.25, 95% CI 1.01-1.53) and women with type 2 diabetes (1.09, 95% CI 1.03-1.16) and men with type 2 diabetes (1.17, 95% CI 1.08-1.27). HR of disability pension was higher in type 1 diabetes (women 1.90, 95% CI 1.46-2.46; men 2.09, 1.38-3.18) and type 2 diabetes (women 1.78, 95% CI 1.62-1.96; men 2.11, 1.86-2.40). Only women with type 2 diabetes were less likely to return to work from sickness absence (HR 0.91, 95% CI 0.86-0.98) or unemployment (0.89, 95% CI 0.85-0.94). We found no significant difference between the two types of diabetes. Hazard ratios for diabetes regarding unemployment, sickness absence while unemployed and disability pension were significantly higher for men than for women.CONCLUSIONS:
Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes affect labour market outcomes, but future studies should also consider comorbidity and social gradient.
