- Abstract
Although sleep disturbances and fatigue are common conditions, frequently shown to be associated with sickness absence, only a few studies have prospectively investigated their independent effects on sickness absence, while adjusting for depressive symptoms. This study aims (i) to examine whether sleep disturbances and fatigue are independently related to the onset of register-based sickness absence of ≥ 3 weeks during a 1-year follow-up in a representative sample of the Danish workforce and (ii) to determine if possible associations are gender-specific.
