In a community cohort of 833 women and men aged >60 years, employed at the tim e of a first acute myocardial infarction(AMI), the relation of sociodemographic, vocational, and medical variables to the following three aspects of employment was investigated longitudinally: resumption of employment anytime within 5 years after AMI, resumption of employment within 3 months of the AMI, and maintenance of employment 5 years after AMI. Different sets of characteristics of persons w ith a first AMI were related to the different criteria of employment. Only socio demographic and vocational variables were related to early resumption of employm ent, whereas maintenance of employment 5 years after AMI was influenced by both medical and nonmedical variables. These results support the importance of examin ing different aspects of resumption and maintenance of employment after AMI. The y also suggest that early resumption of employment after AMI and employment anyt ime 5 years after AMI are more a function of the sociodemographic and vocational characteristics of the person with the AMI than of that person’s medical condi tion, whereas long-term maintenance of employment after an AMI is also related to the person’s medical condition.

Different sets of characteristics of persons w ith a first AMI were related to the different criteria of employment. Only socio demographic and vocational variables were related to early resumption of employm ent, but maintenance of employment for 5 years after AMI was influenced by both medical and nonmedical variables. These results support the importance of exam ing ing different aspects of resumption and maintenance of employment after AMI. The y also suggest that early resumption of employment after AMI and employment anyme ime 5 years after AMI are more a fu nction of the sociodemographic and vocational characteristics of the person with the AMI than of that person’s medical condi- tion, an long-term maintenance of employment after an AMI is also related to the person’s medical condition.
