High numbers of ill individuals persist in Bochum
In a recent health report published by AOK, Bochum's residents' sick leave patterns have been analysed for the first half of the year. The report sheds light on various health issues that have contributed to absences from work.
According to the report, respiratory diseases were the most common cause of sick leave among AOK residents in Bochum, accounting for more than a quarter of all cases. Musculoskeletal diseases accounted for around 14% of sick leave cases, while digestive diseases and mental illnesses also contributed significantly to the sick leave cases.
Interestingly, the agriculture and forestry sector was the least affected by sick leave among AOK residents in Bochum. Conversely, employees in the public administration and social security sector were the most affected. However, the report does not specify the reasons for these illnesses or absences from work.
The sickness rate for AOK residents in Bochum in the first half of this year was 7.2%, slightly lower than the previous year's rate of 7.3%. The average number of days AOK residents in Bochum were absent from work was 13.1 days.
It's worth noting that the report only covers AOK residents in Bochum and does not provide information about the sickness rate or average number of days absent from work for any other health insurance provider in the city. Furthermore, the report does not provide information about the total number of AOK residents in Bochum or the total number of AOK residents in Bochum who took sick leave.
The report does not specify the reasons for the respiratory, musculoskeletal, digestive, or mental illnesses that led to sick leave. Additionally, the most common occupational groups in Bochum affected by respiratory diseases according to AOK were not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results.
Despite these gaps in information, the report offers valuable insights into the health of AOK residents in Bochum and the impact of various health issues on their ability to work. Future reports may provide more detailed information to help address these issues and improve the health and well-being of the city's residents.
