Objectives:This study was conducted to explore the relationship between non-psychotic, common mental disorders and work loss days, using data from 2001 KECA survey. Methods:Six thousands and two hundred seventy-five community dwelling subjects, aged 18 years or older, were interviewed by using the Korean version of Composite International Diagnostic Interview (K-CIDI). Common mental disorders during last 12 months were assessed by work loss days of past month with questions from the WHO Disablement Assessment Scale version 2 (WHODAS-II). Main analysis was done by Linear and Logistic regressions to identify the association between mental disorders and work loss days. Results:As expected, mental disorders were associated with substantial work loss days. Subjects with major depression had highest work loss days. Many common anxiety disorders like social phobia, specific phobia and posttraumatic stress disorder were also associated with high work loss days. Conclusion:Our results show that a number of common mental disorders might have substantial effect on job function, quality of life and, subsequently, social productivity. Therefore it seems that more attention for public mental health efforts is warranted
