    Area of Science:

    • Occupational health
    • Social medicine
    • Public health

    Background:

    • The Invalid Pension (IP) system aims to support individuals unable to work due to health conditions.
    • Understanding the primary causes of long-term incapacity and factors influencing pension acceptance is crucial for public health policy.
    • Previous studies have not comprehensively analyzed the specific conditions leading to IP and the demographic influences on acceptance.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To categorize the main causes of incapacity among Invalid Pension recipients.
    • To identify the conditions contributing to the greatest number of years lost from work.
    • To determine the significant factors influencing acceptance into the Invalid Pension scheme.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of Invalid Pension (IP) acceptance data.
    • Categorization of diagnoses for IP recipients.
    • Statistical analysis to identify factors associated with IP acceptance and years of incapacity.

    Main Results:

    • Ischaemic heart disease, neurosis, respiratory disease, and nervous system disease were the leading causes of incapacity.
    • Neurosis, nervous system disease, psychosis, and vertebral disease accounted for the most years lost from work.
    • Occupation and country of birth were significant factors for IP acceptance, with a notable overrepresentation of Greek-born migrants.

    Conclusions:

    • While several conditions cause incapacity, mental health and neurological disorders significantly impact work years lost.
    • Occupational and migration factors play a critical role in Invalid Pension (IP) acceptance, highlighting potential disparities.
    • Further research into the specific needs and support for migrant populations within the IP system is warranted.
