† Respondents who had worked during the past year were asked, “During the past 12 months, about how many days did you miss work at a job or business because of illness or injury (do not include maternity leave)?” Responses are only shown for employed adults.
§ Estimates are based on household interviews of a sample of the civilian, noninstitutionalized U.S. population, and are shown for sample adults aged ≥18 years who had a job anytime during the past 12 months.
Among employed adults aged ≥18 years, women (43.5%) were more likely than men (37.0%) to have missed at least 1 day of work because of illness or injury during the past 12 months. This pattern was consistent for women and men aged 18–44 (44.5% versus 39.4%), 45–64 (44.5% versus 36.3%), and ≥65 years (29.3% versus 21.6%). Among women, having any work-loss days was similar for those aged 18–44 and 45–64 years and then declined for those aged ≥65 years. Among men, having any work-loss days decreased with age.
