这项研究的目的是调查每周使用电脑的时间是否预示着以后病假超过两周。2146名经常使用电脑的人在基线时填写了一份调查问卷，并被跟踪了一年，连续记录了电脑使用的持续时间，此外，在疾病缺勤超过两周的中央登记册中进行了300周的跟踪。2146名参与者中有147名（6.9%）在随访期间首次发病。总体而言，每周平均使用电脑并没有成为后来因病缺勤的风险因素。每周增加1小时电脑使用的病假风险比为0.99 （95% CI: 0.99 ~ 1.00）。对工作场所安排的低满意度和女性性别都使病假的风险增加了一倍。我们早些时候发现，使用电脑并不能预测颈部和上肢的持续疼痛，而且似乎使用电脑也不能预测未来长期的无原因疾病。
The aim of the study was to investigate if weekly duration of computer use predicted sickness absence for more than two weeks at a later time. A cohort of 2146 frequent computer users filled in a questionnaire at baseline and was followed for one year with continuously recording of the duration of computer use and furthermore followed for 300 weeks in a central register of sickness absence for more than 2 weeks. 147 participants of the 2,146 (6.9%) became first time sick listed in the follow-up period. Overall, mean weekly computer use did not turn out to be a risk factor for later sickness absence. The hazard ratio for sickness absence with weekly increase of one hour in computer use was 0.99 (95% CI: 0.99 to 1.00). Low satisfaction with work place arrangements and female gender both doubled the risk of sickness absence. We have earlier found that computer use did not predict persistent pain in the neck and upper limb, and it seems that computer use neither predicts future long-term sickness absence of all causes.
