To examine first-year results from a workplace environmental obesity prevention program at The Dow Chemical Company.
A quasi-experimental cohort study was conducted among employees at nine treatment worksites (n = 8013) who received environmental weight management interventions and three control worksites (n = 2269). Changes in employees' weight, body mass index (BMI), and other health risks were examined using chi2 and t-tests.
After 1 year, a modest treatment effect was observed for weight and BMI largely because the control group subjects gained weight; however, no effect was observed for overweight and obesity prevalence. Other risk factors (tobacco use, high blood pressure, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure values) decreased significantly, although blood glucose (high risk prevalence and values) increased.
Environmental changes to the workplace can achieve modest improvements in employees' health risks, including weight and BMI measures, in 1 year.
研究陶氏化学公司职场环境肥胖预防项目的第一年成果。
对九个接受环境体重管理干预的治疗工作场所（n = 8013）的员工和三个对照工作场所（n = 2269）的员工进行了一项准实验队列研究。使用卡方检验和t检验来研究员工体重、体重指数（BMI）和其他健康风险的变化。
1年后，观察到体重和BMI有适度的治疗效果，这主要是因为对照组受试者体重增加；然而，超重和肥胖患病率没有变化。其他风险因素（吸烟、高血压以及收缩压和舒张压值）显著下降，尽管血糖（高风险患病率和值）有所上升。
工作场所的环境改变能够在1年内使员工的健康风险（包括体重和BMI指标）得到适度改善。
