  1. The table includes PD cases and controls with a date of diagnosis/matching at least 11 years prior to the last date of follow-up. Cases and controls were matched at the time of diagnosis on year of birth, sex, and municipality of residence. Cases/controls who emigrated during follow-up and all controls to cases who emigrated during follow-up were excluded. Repeated χ2 tests resulted in P < 0.001 at all intervals except in the 60–64 age group with workforce exit ≤5 years (P = 0.025), ≤7 years (P = 0.139), and ≤10 years (P = 0.860) after diagnosis. Workforce exit was defined as the first occurrence of either death, two successive years without information from employer on income, 1 year with ≥274 days of sickness pension, 1 year with full pension; two successive years with ≥274 days of sick pay, rehabilitation, or working injury compensation; or two successive years with ≥274 days of unemployment.
