Article Synopsis
- As employees age, their physical and mental abilities decline, affecting work ability and increasing risks of long-term sick leave or early retirement, but the full impact of biological and environmental factors is not well understood.
- The goal of the study was to identify key predictors of work ability by evaluating a variety of sociodemographic, lifestyle, biological, and psychosocial factors using data from 494 participants across different job sectors.
- Key findings revealed that factors like education, social activities, and sleep quality significantly influenced work ability, with certain variables explaining up to 52% of the variation in work ability scores, while negative predictors included age, BMI, and personality traits like neuroticism.
