Problem gamblers have an 89% risk for long-term work disability, a new study suggests. Women, older persons, and those with psychiatric comorbidities or a history of psychotropic medication use were at highest risk.
The study included 2830 adults diagnosed with a gambling disorder (GD) in specialized healthcare (mean age, 35 years; 77% male) and 28,300 adults from the general population matched for age, sex, education, country of birth, and area of residence.
