Objective: The purpose of this study is to quantify the days away from work by mental disorders (MDs) in endemic fighting agents (EFAs) in the state in Northeast Brazil.
Methods: This is a historical cohort carried out from the survey of 584 expert medical records of EFA. The association measures were performed using Poisson regression models.
Results: The days away from work increased over time. Endemic fighting agents who have been on sick leaves by mood disorders ([cumulative incidence like relative risk (IRR)], 21.37; 95% CI, 12.36-36.93), alcoholism (IRR, 17.12; 95% CI, 10.04-29.34), and stress-related disorders (IRR, 10.32; 95% CI, 6.05-17.63) have a higher risk of absenteeism longer than 15 days.
Conclusion: This study reinforces the importance of actions for coping with MD in EFA.
