Influence of high cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic people on the duration and cost of sick leave: results of the ICARIA study

Abstract

Moderate-to-high CVR in asymptomatic subjects was significantly associated with the duration and cost of CV and non-CV SL. These results constitute the first body of evidence that the SCORE charts can be used to identify people with a non-established CV disease, which might ultimately translate into more lost workdays and therefore increased cost for society.
