“…Previous studies have focused on WLE across educational or occupational groups (3,5,6,8,9,26,27), or on the influence of chronic diseases on WLE (2,(26)(27)(28). Their results are in line with the current study, showing the lowest WLE among persons with a low educational level and among workers with a chronic disease.…”

The influence of chronic diseases and poor working conditions in working life expectancy across educational levels among older employees in the Netherlands by Schram JLD, Schuring M, Oude Hengel KM, Burdorf A, Robroek SJW This study contributes to the literature by studying the impact of health problems and unfavorable working conditions on working life expectancy and working years lost across educational levels. The results show that the presence of health problems or unfavorable working conditions, which are more prevalent among workers with a low educational level, contribute substantially to working years lost.

“…It was suggested that diabetes could drastically affect working ability and work cessation 4 . A study that suggested significantly shorter working life expectancies and greater loss of working years in patients with diabetes 39 also supports our findings. Moreover, a reason why moderately long work is helpful in controlling diabetes is most likely due to the ability of the worker to maintain a routine.…”

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between working hours and glycemic control. Methods: Study was performed among Korean participants who underwent at least two health screening examinations between 2012 and 2018. The study included 2169 participants who were older than 40 years and undergoing treatment for diabetes at baseline. A hemoglobin A1c level >9% at the follow-up visit was defined as poor glycemic control. The weekly working hours were divided into three groups for analysis. Results: Compared with participants with 45-54 weekly working hours, multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios (95% confidence intervals) for incident poor glycemic control among participants with ≥55 and 35-44 working hours were 1.40 (1.01-1.96) and 1.51 (1.09-2.09), respectively. Conclusions: Standard working hours and long working hours were independent risk factors for poor diabetes control in patients with diabetes.

“…

The question of what impact living with diabetes has on work-life has received a good deal of attention in recent years. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Focus on this question is timely, especially with respect to type 2 diabetes, where the global prevalence is on the rise and, in high-income countries at least, aging population trends are pushing the mandatory age of retirement upwards. Consequently, in the future, we can expect to see that more people with diabetes will be living with the condition while they ostensibly remain a part of the labour force.

Aims People with type 2 diabetes experience a range of negative work‐related outcomes at a time when people are expected to remain active within the labour market for longer. This study sought to identify the work‐related challenges faced by people with type 2 diabetes and ways to address them. Methods Recruitment was undertaken in two contexts and focussed on people living with type 2 diabetes of working age (18–67). A further inclusion criterion for participants was that they were registered as having at least one diabetes‐related complication. Qualitative data was gathered via semi‐structured interviews and interactive workshops and analysed using systematic text condensation. Results Three themes were identified. The first theme highlighted that participants did not generally believe that their diabetes caused them any problems in the context of work, though this was not fully supported in their own accounts. The second theme pointed to the positive value attached to work, simultaneously indicating that work could negatively impact diabetes management and general health. The final theme highlighted the ways that both participants and their healthcare providers considered diabetes in isolation from other aspects of life, potentially delaying remedial actions. Conclusions Epidemiological data indicate that there are serious issues linked to living with type 2 diabetes and work‐related outcomes. The extent to which these issues are recognized and understood may be obfuscated or contained by the value which people attach to work‐life. More needs to be done to tease out work‐related challenges for people with type 2 diabetes to better initiate timely remedial actions.
