    ABSTRACT

    This cross-sectional study compared work ability between individuals affected and not affected by mild COVID-19. The participants underwent serological testing for SARS-CoV-2 and answered the Work Ability Index (WAI) questionnaire. The seropositive group had a lower final WAI score compared to the seronegative group (40 [36–44] vs 43 [38–45]; p=0.008). The presence of three or more current injuries/diseases (PR=3.23; 95%CI:1.59-6.54; p<0.0001) and female sex (PR=3.28; 95%CI:1.27–8.46; p=0.014) were determining factors for lower work ability in the seropositive group. Work ability was poorer in individuals who had mild COVID-19, although the disease was not a determining factor for this decrease.
