“…50,51 In addition, respondents with ill health or having a low level of well-being might not have responded to the survey. 52 However, the study was based on a representative sample of Finnish dairy farmers, which supports the generalization of the findings. Furthermore, the study provided new information on work engagement, which has not previously been examined among farmers.…”

“…Even though there are a greater number of widowed seniors with reduced mobility, marital status has no statistical signi icance. In general, different studies have found that people living alone (single, divorced or widowed), especially elderly men, have a higher risk of functional limitations (27) and decreased mobility (28).…”

“…Perhaps contrary to expectations, we found no excess risk of injury among immigrants who are customarily regarded a vulnerable group in the country. The differential related to immigrants calls for additional research since the results exhibit noticeable variation across studies 21 25 35. The development of postinjury chronic conditions has been reported in several studies but few of them have combined a life-course approach and large nationally representative samples.…”

ObjectivesEvidence about the health and quality-of-life outcomes of injuries is obtained mainly from follow-up studies of surviving trauma patients; population-based studies are rarer, in particular for countries in Eastern Europe. This study examines the incidence, prevalence and social variation in non-fatal injuries resulting in activity limitations and outcomes of injuries in Estonia.DesignA retrospective population-based study.SettingEstonia.Participants7855 respondents of the face-to-face interviews of the second round of the Estonian Family and Fertility Survey conducted between 2004 and 2005 based on the nationally representative probability sample (n=11 192) of the resident population of Estonia aged 20–79.Primary and secondary outcome measuresThe cumulative incidence and prevalence of injuries leading to activity limitations was estimated. Survival models were applied to analyse variations in the injury risk across sociodemographic groups. The association between injuries and the development of chronic conditions and quality of life was examined using survival and logistic regression models.Results10% (95% CI 9.4 to 10.7) of the population aged 20–79 had experienced injuries leading to activity limitations; the prevalence of activity limitations due to injuries was 4.4% (95% CI 3.9% to 4.9%). Significant differences in injury risk were associated with gender, education, employment, marital status and nativity. Limiting injury was associated with a doubling of the likelihood of having chronic conditions (adjusted HR 1.97, 95% CI 1.58 to 2.46). Injury exhibited a statistically significant negative association with most quality-of-life measures. Although reduced, these effects persisted after recovery from activity limitations.ConclusionsSubstantial variation in injury risk across population groups suggests potential for prevention. Men and workers in manual occupations constitute major target groups for injury prevention in Estonia. The association of injury with the development of chronic conditions and reduced quality of life warrants further investigation.

Self-reported activity limitations among the population aged 20-79 in Estonia: a cross-sectional study

Abstract: Judging from our results and the EU structural indicators on health, the prevalence of activity limitations derived from chronic conditions is comparatively high in Estonia. The measures to prevent activity limitations and disability should receive a higher priority in Estonia.
