In a 2004 study of employees in a large company, almost half (47%) of all respondents [all ages combined] indicated having at least one health condition for which they were currently being treated by a physician and/or currently taking medication. More than one out of five (22.5%) reported having at least two such conditions. (Table 1, p. S40)

This study utilized a Work Limitations Questionnaire completed by 16,651 employees between the ages of 16-64 (average 38.9) of a large financial services firm to examine which chronic illnesses have the largest effect on increased presenteeism (productivity is lost while the employee is still at work but impaired due to health problems).
