Researchers at UnumProvident Corp., Chattanooga, Tenn., have published a review of short-term and long-term disability causes in a report based on a review of records for 27 million group disability insureds.
The researchers found that cancer, pregnancy complications, and diseases associated with joints, muscles and connective tissue were the top 3 causes for UnumProvident long-term disability claims.
The researchers found more change on the list of causes for short-term disability claims.
