AIM: Although multisite @entity158 (MSP) often threatens work ability (WA), some of those with MSP retain good WA. Our aim was to identify factors associated with good WA among subjects with MSP. METHODS: A nationally representative sample (the Health 2000-Study, response rate 87%) comprising 3884 occupationally active Finns aged 30-64 years. Data on WA, @entity4512 , physical and @entity2673 , @entity102 , lifestyle and domestic situation were gathered by questionnaire, interview and clinical examination. Good current WA compared with the lifetime best was defined as    9 on a 0-10 scale. @entity4512 in 18 body locations was combined into four sites, and thereafter @entity158 in two or more sites was defined as MSP (N=1351). Poisson regression analysis was used to obtain prevalence rate ratios (PRR). RESULTS: Good WA was reported by 48% of the @entity1 and 37% of the @entity1 with MSP. In a multivariable model good WA was associated with younger age, female gender, physically non-strenuous work ( @entity6765 .3, 95% CI 1.1-1.5), @entity258 (1.2, 1.0-1.4), high supervisor support (1.2, 1.0-1.4), and not having @entity85 (1.3, 1.1-1.5), @entity146 (1.4, 1.1-1.9), daytime tiredness (1.4, 1.2-1.7) or economic troubles (1.5, 1.1-1.9). Age-stratified analyses revealed also associations with high coworker support (1.2, 1.0-1.4) and strenuous leisure-time physical exercise (1.2, 1.0-1.4) in those aged 30-44 and low @entity285 consumption (1.8, 1.2-2.6) in the age-group 45-64. CONCLUSIONS: Several potentially modifiable factors related to health, work, and lifestyle were associated with good WA among occupationally active subjects with MSP.
