73 Inability to work fulltime, prevalence and associated factors Associations with the Inability to Work Fulltime Within Each Disease Group Gender was associated with the inability to work fulltime for 11 disease groups. Women had in ten out of these 11 disease groups higher odds on having an inability to work fulltime compared to men, except for diseases of the genitourinary system. Higher age showed an increased risk to have an inability to work fulltime for the disease groups neoplasms, mental and behavioural disorders, diseases of the respiratory system, musculoskeletal system, and genitourinary system. Educational level was associated with seven disease groups: diseases of the nervous system, the eye, the circulatory system, the musculoskeletal system, pregnancy, symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, and injury. For these disease groups (except for diseases of the eye and pregnancy), high and middle educational levels showed significantly higher odds for an inability to work fulltime compared to a low educational level. Multimorbidity showed higher risk of inability to work fulltime within four disease groups (diseases of the skin, musculoskeletal system, symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, and injury), and lower risk within five disease groups (diseases of the blood, nervous system, circulatory system, respiratory system and genitourinary system) (Table 4). 4
