Isi artikel

During the past decades a number of studies have shown a higher mortality among disability pensioners than among non-pensioners (referents) of the same age and sex (Gjesdal, Haug, Ringdal, Maeland, Hagberg, Røraas, et al., 2009; Gjesdal, Svedberg, Hagberg, & Alexanderson, 2009; Gjesdal, Maeland, Svedberg, Hagberg, & Alexanderson, 2008; Karlsson, Carstensen, Gjesdal, & Alexanderson, 2007; Wallman, Wedel, Johansson, Rosengren, Eriksson, Welin, et al., 2006; Ahs, & Westerling, 2006; Medhus, & Kristenson, 2001; Gubéran, & Usel, 1998; Kaprio, Sarna, Fogelholm, & Koskenvuo, 1996; Hasle, Jeune, & Skyytthe, 1988; Jeune, 1982; Damlund, Gøth, Hasle, Jeune, & Munk, 1982). At face value this is not very surprising, since the overwhelming majority of disability pensioners have an underlying disease or disorder severe enough to cause health problems. Referents also may have similar diseases or disorders, but usually of less severity.
