According to a 2005 work-related injuries survey, older workers (over 55) were slightly more likely to report working fewer hours due to the injury (13.7%) compared to workers aged 55 or under (10.2%). (p. 108)

A self-report survey about occupational, health, and financial outcomes, and related fators was administered 2-8 weeks post-injury to New Hampshire workers aged <55 and >= 55 who had experienced workplace injuries in 2000-2002. Responses from 1032 workers who had lost time from work due to those injuries were analyzed for this study.
