Combined exposure to heavy physical workload and low job control and the risk of disability pension: A cohort study of employed men and women in Sweden

ConclusionHeavy physical workload and low decision authority were separately associated with DP. The combination of heavy PWL and low decision authority was often associated with higher risks of DP than would be expected from adding the effects of the single exposures. Increasing decision authority among workers with heavy PWL could help reduce the risk of DP.
