Demographic and clinical associations to employment status in older-age bipolar disorder: Analysis from the GAGE-BD database project.

Objective: The current literature on employment in older adults with bipolar disorder (OABD) is limited. Using the Global Aging and Geriatric Experiments in Bipolar Disorder Database (GAGE-BD), we examined the relationship of occupational status in OABD to other demographic and clinical characteristics.

Methods: Seven hundred and thirty-eight participants from 11 international samples with data on educational level and occupational status were included.
