Abstract

Objective: We examined the association between infertility status and sickness presenteeism among Japanese workers.

Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using data from the W2S-Ohpm Study. Participants were 16,685 workers aged 20-49 years. Infertility status was categorized as no infertility, treated infertility, or untreated infertility. Sickness presenteeism was measured by the number of days worked despite poor health. Negative binomial regression estimated adjusted incidence rate ratios (IRRs).

Results: Among men, treated and untreated infertility were associated with higher sickness presenteeism (treated: IRR = 1.96; 95% CI: 1.24-3.11; untreated: IRR = 2.12; 95% CI: 1.49-3.02). Among women, untreated infertility was significantly associated with increased presenteeism (IRR = 1.47; 95% CI: 1.12-1.94).

Conclusions: Infertility status was associated with sickness presenteeism among Japanese workers.

不孕不育与日本工人出勤率之间的关系：一项横断面研究。

目的：研究日本工人不孕状况与出勤率之间的关系。方法：我们使用W2S-Ohpm研究的数据进行了横断面分析。参与者是16,685名年龄在20-49岁之间的工人。不孕症分为无不孕症、治疗不孕症和未治疗不孕症。病假出勤是用健康状况不佳的情况下工作的天数来衡量的。负二项回归估计校正发病率比（IRRs）。结果：在男性中，治疗和未治疗的不孕症与较高的出勤率相关（治疗：IRR=1.96; 95% CI: 1.24-3.11；未治疗：IRR=2.12; 95% CI: 1.49-3.02）。在女性中，未经治疗的不孕症与出诊率增加显著相关（IRR=1.47; 95% CI: 1.12-1.94）。结论：不孕状况与日本工人的出勤率有关。
