The average incidence was 429.75 per 100\u2009000 workers insured and 4273.36 per 100\u2009000 IBERMUTUA accidents (related and not related to eyes). Males, 16\u201324 age group and industry occupational sector group, have the highest incidence for WREI. The incidence of WREI decrease over the study period in all variables. Males have 6.56 (95% CI 6.38 to 6.75) times more risk of suffering WREI than females. 16\u201324 age group have 1.77 (95% CI 1.71 to 1.83) times more risk than in the group of workers older than 55.
