| Abstract | This study developed new national estimates of morbidity costs and examined trends in disability and labor-force participation for the noninstitutionalized population of males aged 17 to 64. Based on 1974-1978 data from the Health Interview Survey, the study found 2.7 million working-age males unable to work, 5.4 million working-age males with chronic health problems, and 272 million work days lost annually during 1974-1978. The annual morbidity cost was estimated to be $51.9 billion (in 1975 dollars) when education, occupation and industry were held constant, and $64 billion when these factors were not held constant. Debility costs, a component often omitted in previous studies, accounted for 24.4 and 30 percent of these totals. Cost estimates for 61 specific health problem categories were derived. Descriptive analysis of trends for the 1969-1980 period showed a correlation between increases in reported disability and declines in labor-force participation rates for the 45-54 and 55-64 age groups, but the magnitude of the disability increase was not large enough to fully explain the labor-force participation decline.
