Abstract:	Objective The aim of this study was to estimate the fraction of permanent disability pensions among the working population in Denmark that can be attributed to differences in health behaviour. Methods A total of 8,287 employees were interviewed regarding health behaviour, work environment and general health. They were followed in a national register on granted disability pensions. Cox regression analysis was performed, and attributable fractions were calculated. Results The analysis showed a 48% and 79% risk increase for female heavy and moderate smokers, respectively (attributable fraction 19.7%), and a 74% risk increase for BMI?Conclusions Smoking was an independent disability pension predictor regardless of age, work environment factors and baseline general health status. Workplace-based smoking cessation could substantially decrease permanent disability retirement from work.
