Description:Objective:
The objective of this study was to evaluate the relationship between multimorbidity and subsequent two-year employment outcomes among middle-aged United States (US) cancer survivors. In addition, we examined whether the relationship differed by survivor characteristics.
Methods:
Data of 633 cancer survivors (ages 51–64) from the 2014 Health and Retirement Study were used to identify multimorbidity profiles and evaluate associations between multimorbidity and prolonged unemployment during follow-up.
Results:
Approximately 64% of cancer survivors met the criteria for multimorbidity. Latent class analysis revealed three distinct multimorbidity profiles distinguished by the presence or absence of psychiatric disorders. We observed a significant association between high psychiatric multimorbidity and prolonged unemployment after two-year follow-up (Relative Risk = 2.78, 95% Confidence Interval = 1.28–6.00), with the effect more pronounced among low-income survivors.
Conclusions:
Psychiatric multimorbidity was associated with prolonged unemployment among middle-aged cancer survivors, particularly among low-income survivors.
