#Standardized incidence ratios (SIR) for chronic disease in the newly sick-listed sample are shown. If the SIR is 1.0 the incidence among the newly sick-listed equals that of the general population sample. A significant difference (*) between the two samples is observed when the 95% confidence interval does not include 1.0.
