    Mortality among male disability pensioners.

    Area of Science:

    • Social Medicine
    • Public Health
    • Epidemiology

    Background:

    • In 1964, disability pensions were granted at a rate of 2.9 per thousand men aged 16-66 in Malmö.
    • By 1974, this rate had increased to 10.6 per thousand, a 3.7-fold rise over a decade.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare cohorts of men newly granted disability pensions in 1964 and 1974.
    • To analyze changes in the characteristics and diagnoses associated with disability pension awards over time.

    Main Methods:

    • A comparative study design was employed.
    • 235 men granted disability pensions for the first time in 1964 were compared to 235 randomly selected men granted first-time pensions in 1974.
    • Data on diagnoses, pension type, and age were analyzed.

    Main Results:

    • The ratio of temporary to permanent disability pensions shifted from 1:2 in 1964 to 1:4 in 1974.
    • The average age of recipients increased from 54.9 years in 1964 to 57.4 years in 1974.
    • Mental disorders, circulatory system diseases, and musculoskeletal system diseases constituted approximately 70% of diagnoses in both cohorts.

    Conclusions:

    • There was a significant increase in disability pension awards among men in Malmö between 1964 and 1974.
    • The findings suggest a potential shift towards more permanent disability pensions and an aging recipient population.
    • The primary diagnostic categories remained consistent, highlighting persistent health challenges in these areas.
