“…For diabetes mellitus, we found only cross-sectional studies providing "determinants" of the relation between the disease and work disability. The determinants found were similar to the prognostic factors identified in the cohort studies in the present study, for example, age (high versus low) and gender (female versus male), both of which were positively associated with work disability, and education (high versus low) which was found to be negatively associated with work disability (73)(74)(75).…”

“…It is known that people with limitations do work (5,6,16). It is also known that individuals determined to be disabled under the rules of the SSA for receipt of benefits under Social Security Disability Insurance fear loss of those benefits if they work; this disincentive keeps individuals on the disability rolls (13).…”

The relationship between employment and disability has gained national attention, as the ability to maintain employment is inconsistent among those with limitations. This cross-sectional study of employment among individuals (N = 1691, age 21-62 years) with self-reported limitations in the 1996 Medical Expenditures Panel Survey seeks to identify predictors of employment despite physical and/or cognitive limitations. Two predictive models of employment including 10 variables are explored; 1 included insurance (χ 2 = 3856.85, p ≤ 0.00) and the other removed the insurance variable (χ 2 = 280.21, p ≤ 0.00). Individuals with limitations who are employed are more likely to have a college-level education, have better physical and mental health perceptions and have private insurance. This analysis demonstrates that people do work despite reported activity, functional or sensory limitations and that socioeconomic factors are crucial in why someone is able to attain employment.

“…T h e association between diabetes and disability has not been well studied, but some researchers have found that disability is two to three times higher among people with diabetes than among those without diabetes (3)(4)(5)(6). Disability is a key indicator of the degree of morbidity associated with a chronic disease such as diabetes and a core component of the impact of chronic disease on quality of life.…”

OBJECTIVE -To estimate the prevalence of physical limitations associated with diabetes among U.S. adults Ն18 years of age.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of the association between diabetes status and physical limitations using the 1997-1999 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). Physical limitation was defined from self-reported degree of difficulty with nine tasks.RESULTS -People with diabetes had a higher proportion of any physical limitation than did people without diabetes overall (66 vs. 29%, P Ͻ 0.001), for both men (59 vs. 24%, P Ͻ 0.001) and women (72 vs. 34%, P Ͻ 0.001). Compared with those without diabetes, a higher proportion of people with diabetes had some physical limitation among all age groups, and the difference declined (all P Ͻ 0.001) with increasing age (46 vs. 18% for 18 -44 years, 63 vs. 35% for 45-64 years, 74 vs. 53% for 65-74 years, and 85 vs. 70% for those 75 years and older). After controlling for demographic characteristics and several other confounders, the odds ratio of physical limitation among adults with diabetes versus those without diabetes was 1.9 (95% CI: 1.8 -2.1).CONCLUSIONS -People with diabetes are much more likely to have a physical limitation than those without diabetes. Interventions are needed in this population to reduce progression from impairment to physical limitation and from physical limitation to disability, especially because the prevalence of diabetes is projected to increase dramatically in the next several decades.
