  • Title: Prevalence of work disability--United States, 1990.
    Author: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
    Journal: MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep; 1993 Oct 08; 42(39):757-9. PubMed ID: 8413158.
    Abstract:
    Work disability, defined as the inability to perform work as a result of a physical, mental, or other health condition, costs approximately $111.6 billion each year in direct and indirect medical costs and lost wages. National health objectives for the year 2000 are to increase the span of healthy life for persons in the United States and to reduce the proportion of persons experiencing disability from chronic conditions (as defined by CDC's National Health Interview Survey) to a maximum of 8% (baseline: 9.4% in 1988) (objective 17.2). This report presents national and state-specific prevalence rates of work disability in the United States for 1990 and compares rates with those for 1980.
