Popis: OBJECTIVE: To examine how work and non-work health-related factors contribute to workers’ compensation (WC) claims by gender. METHODS: Workers (N=16,926) were enrolled in the Pinnacol Assurance Health Risk Management study, a multiyear, longitudinal research program assessing small and medium-sized enterprises in Colorado. Hypotheses were tested using gender stratified logistic regression models. RESULTS: For both females and males, having incurred a prior WC claim increased the odds of a future claim. The combination of incurring a prior claim and having certain metabolic health conditions resulted in lower odds of a future claim. Behavioral health risk factors increased the odds of having a claim more so among females than among males. CONCLUSIONS: This study provides data to support multifactorial injury theories, and the need for injury prevention efforts that consider workplace conditions as well as worker health.
