Description
Introduction: The study examined the effect of workplace interventions on the different retirement types and which workrelated factors predicted disability pension.
Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study among Finnish food industry employees was conducted between 2003 and 2009. Data from 265 individuals who participated in the questionnaire surveys and had information on their pension type were analyzed in this study. In total 110 participated in the senior program and 155 were the controls. The intervention, so called “senior program” aiming to maintain and promote work wellbeing and work ability among employees aged 55+ years was implemented as voluntary program in the company in 2004 and continued as a normal workplace health promotion program. Information on type of pension until December 2019 was obtained from the Finnish Centre for Pension and was dichotomized as normal vs. disability retirement. Work-related information of the participants was obtained from the questionnaire. s.
Results: In total 51 employees (19.2%) retired on disability pension
(24% in controls compared to 14% in the senior program). In multivariable model, work ability was associated with disability pension, so that those with good work ability had 70% lower risk of disability pension as compared to those with poor work ability. Multisite pain was associated with increased risk of disability pension in a crude model.
Conclusions: Workplace interventions targeted at older workers can be useful in reducing accessing the disability pension.
