较低的生活质量和更多的劳动力失业天数是孟加拉国经济发展的障碍。使用具有全国代表性的数据--孟加拉国2004-2007年人口与健康调查，我们检查了阻碍已婚男性工作者在孟加拉国从事日常活动的疾病(哮喘、糖尿病、心脏病、高血压、黄疸/肝炎、疟疾/发烧、肺结核等)的患病率，并检查了部分无工作预期寿命(WLFLE)的变化。研究发现，平均失业天数和WLLOE都有所改善；2007年30岁的男性员工预计，2004年30岁的男性员工的WLLOE比同龄男性员工多212天。2004年17.8%的男工和2007年9.1%的男工因其他疾病而无法正常工作。2004年和2007年，分别有14.4%和11.5%的男性工人因疟疾/发烧而无法正常工作。在这两年，在所有疾病中，其他疾病类别和疟疾/发烧被发现是阻碍孟加拉男性工人正常工作的主要原因。这项研究建议对疟疾/发烧采取行动，以便人们可以继续工作，而不会出现健康问题或疾病，并建议确定导致工作损失天数的其他疾病。它建议以一致的方式收集男性和女性的数据，方法是保持相同的问题、相同的措辞、相同的顺序和年龄组随着时间的推移保持一致。
Lower quality of life and more work-loss days for the workforce are barriers for economic development in Bangladesh. Using nationally representative data-the Bangladesh Demographic and Health Surveys for the 2004-2007 period, we examined the prevalence of diseases (asthma, diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure, jaundice/hepatitis, malaria/fever, tuberculosis, and other) that prevented ever-married male workers from doing their regular activities in Bangladesh, and we examined changes in partial work-loss free life expectancy (WLFLE). The study found improvements in the mean number of work-loss days as well as in WLFLE; male workers at age 30 in 2007 expected 212 days more WLFLE than male workers of the same age in 2004. Other diseases prevented 17.8 per cent of male workers in 2004 and 9.1 per cent of male workers in 2007 from doing their normal work. Malaria/fever prevented 14.4 per cent and 11.5 per cent of male workers in 2004 and 2007, respectively, from doing their normal work. In both years, of all the diseases, the other diseases category and malaria/fever were found to be the major causes preventing Bangladeshi male workers from doing their normal work. This study recommends taking action against malaria/fever so that people can continue working without health problems or illness, and it recommends identifying other diseases which cause work-loss days. It suggests collecting data for both the males and females in a consistent manner by keeping the same questions with the same wording, order, and age groups consistent over time.
