According to a 2005 worked-related injuries survey, "older workers were significantly more likely to rate their injury as "severe" (34% of those aged 55 or older compared to 24% of those under age 50)." (p. 107)
Pransky, G. S., Benjamin, K. L., Savageau, J. A., Currivan, D., & Fletcher, K. (2005). Outcomes in work-related injuries: A comparison of older and younger workers. American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 47(2), 104-112.
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.
