Among all workers [all ages combined] in a 2004 study who reported having at least one medical condition for which they are being treated by a physician, 25.4% reported experiencing limitations in time management due to their health; 21.7% reported impairment in physical work activities due to their health, 40.6% reported health-related limitations in mental/interpersonal activities, and 31.9% reported health-related limitations in their overall output.

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).
