This study aims to analyze gender disparities in work-related mental disorders among the economically active population in Brazil from 2012 to 2024.
Ecological study using secondary data from TABNET/DATASUS and population data from IBGE-SIDRA.
Participants included economically active individuals aged 14 and older, assessed for WRMD incidence between 2012 and 2024.
Data analysis involved calculating incidence density per 100,000 person-years, with chi-square test and odds ratio for sex differences.
A total of 25,574 new cases of WRMD recorded, with 66.8% occurring among women.
Incidence density was 3.45 cases per 100,000 woman-years and 1.24 per 100,000 man-years.
Odds ratio for women was 2.79 (95% CI = 2.72–2.86), indicating a nearly threefold higher risk compared to men.
