The authors analyze the development of work incapacity in ambulatory patients treated in 1979-1987 by sex, age and period of work incapacity. They used graphic illustrations of time series with a regression line which indicates a rising or declining trend of work incapacity. The analysis revealed that the work incapacity has, with the exception of men aged 15-24 years, a rising trend in particular in women.
