TLDR
Presenteeism was greatest for those ages 30-49, women, separated/divorced/widowed employees, and those with a high school degree or some college, and Clerical/office workers and service workers had higher presenteeism.Abstract:

Personal problems and financial stress/concerns also contributed substantially to presenteeism. Factors with less contribution to presenteeism included physical limitations, depression or anxiety, inadequate job training, and problems with supervisors and coworkers. Presenteeism was greatest for those ages 30–49, women, separated/divorced/widowed employees, and those with a high school degree or some college. Clerical/office workers and service wor...read more

Presenteeism: A review and research directions
TL;DR: In contrast to absenteeism, presenteeism has only recently gained attention as a major factor that affects organizational performance as mentioned in this paper, and to date, neither a uniform definition nor consistent measurement methods have been employed in the research on present-eeism.

TL;DR: A number of high quality studies consistently demonstrated that chronic knee pain or knee osteoarthritis is associated with absenteeism, however, data are lacking regarding presenteeism and individual or work-related risk factors for reduced work productivity among older workers with chronic kneePain.
