We estimated the relative risk of disability pension dependent on DM2 comorbidity status and occupational class by means of a log-binomial regression. Reference group was upper non manual employees with no disease. ## Results The highest risks of disability pension were seen for DM2 + mental disease, age 40-59 (RR = 2.45 [2.3-2.5]), DM2 + cerebrovascular disease (RR = 2.45 CI 95% [2.1-2.8]) and DM2 + ≥2 diseases (RR = 2.98 [2.9-3.1]). Unskilled and manual workers were more likely to receive disability pension. The occupational inequ
