This paper presents and evaluates a model of work-related disability from the perspective of the interaction between occupational performance requirements and performance abilities of impaired workers. The model is tested with data from the 1966, 1971, 1976, and 1981 waves of the NLS Older Men's cohort. The onset of an illness or injury producing a change in the occupational performance abilities of mature aged men as the result of the interaction between their functional impairments and the performance requirements of their job reduces employment participation by approximately 60 percent.
