  • 1.  The Effect of Disability on Work Life Expectancy

    Posted 09-21-2015 12:13

    I'm looking for published sources pertaining to work life expectancy for individuals classified based on disorders (cervical spine fusion; lumbar fusion; etc).  Prefer to look at traumatic causes of disability and compare that to work life expectancy of individuals with non-traumatic causes of same disorders and non disabled work life expectancies.  Stats broken down by disorder, age, gender, race, educational level, and occupation would be excellent.  I appreciate any sources of valid information.
