Declarations

: The authors declare no conflicts of interest.
: The Swedish law on Research Ethics states that the use of register data which has been given without consent and contains sensitive information (e.g., regarding health conditions) must get approval from a Regional Research Ethics Committee. This applied to our sickness absence data, while participation in the Work Environment survey was based on informed content. The approval must be sought for research use of personal information also when data has been made anonymous after the data linkage. The regional ethical board in Stockholm approved this study (Dnr: 2018/5:2) and waived the requirement that informed consent from the research subjects should be collected.
