将 40 万以上 60 岁以下就业人口中的在职死亡率和因残疾导致的提前退休率与 1972 年 4 月起三年内经证明因病缺勤的持续时间率进行了比较。按年龄标准化后，11 个职业组中男性和女性的因病缺勤率和死亡率以及退休（医疗浪费）率相差三倍。在这两种健康状况不佳的衡量标准之间观察到显着的等级相关性，男性 rs = 0-827，女性 rs = 0-857。对 1974/75 年英国 10 个地理区域按年龄和职业标准化的雇员比率进行了类似比较，发现比率存在双重差异，男性的等级相关系数为 + 0-794，女性的等级相关系数为 + 0-649。这些观察结果表明，在表现出健康状况不佳的其他客观证据以及最需要预防性医疗保健的人群中，经证明因病缺勤的持续时间较长。讨论了对因病缺勤的复杂病因学采取平衡观点的必要性。
Rates of death in service and rates of premature retirement due to disability in an employed population of more than 400 000 people under the age of 60 years have been compared with duration rates of certified sickness absence for three years from April 1972. Standardized for age, rates of sickness absence and of death, combined with retirement (medical wastage) for men and women differed between 11 occupational groups by a factor of three. Significant rank correlations were observed between these two measures of ill health, rs = 0-827 for men, rs = 0-857 for women. Similar comparisons for 1974/75 of rates for staff employed in 10 geographical regions of the United Kingdom standardized for age and occupation, revealed twofold differences of rate, and rank correlation coefficients of + 0-794 for men and + 0-649 for women. These observations show that the duration of certified sickness absence is higher in groups of people showing other objective evidence of ill health and who are most in need of preventive health care. The need is discussed for a balanced view of the complex aetiology of sickness absence.
