Description
Introduction: Increasing life expectancy does not always go along with an increasing healthy life expectancy (HLE). The life expectancy without and with disability by occupational exposure during working life helps to gain insight into health inequalities in later life. The objective of this study was to examine differences in life expectancy without and with disability by occupational exposures.
Materials and Methods: Longitudinal data on disability, and physical and psychosocial work demands and resources of 2,513 (former) workers aged 1⁄455 years participating in the LongitudinalAging Study Amsterdam between 1992 and 2016 were used. Life expectancies without and with disability by occupational exposures were calculated using multistate survival models.
Results: Women aged 55 years with high physical work demands could expect to live fewer years without disability than those with low exposure (1.02-1.57 years), whereas there was no difference for men. Men and women with high psychosocial demands and resources at work had a longer life expectancy without disability than those with low exposure (1.19-2.14 years). Life expectancy with disability did not significantly differ across occupational exposures.
Conclusions: Workers in jobs with higher psychosocial demands and
resources and lower physical demands can expect to live more disability-free years. Information on occupational exposure helps to identify workers at risk for a lower life expectancy, especially without disability, who may need specific support regarding their work environment.
