To examine the relationship between body mass index class, presenteeism, and prospective registered sickness absence.
Data were collected from 2983 Belgian workers. Presenteeism was assessed by a single question, evaluating the frequency of being at work, despite illness, during the preceding year. Sickness absence data were registered during 12 months' follow-up. Multiple logistic regression analysis was conducted.
Body mass index class was positively and significantly associated with presenteeism (at least two occasions of working despite illness) in the male employees and was a significant predictor of high sickness absence (at least 10 sick leave days) in the female population. A final multivariate model demonstrated that these relations were only partly mediated by self-rated health.
The results of this study suggest a gender difference concerning absenteeism and presenteeism in overweight and obese employees.
研究体重指数类别、出勤主义与预期注册病假之间的关系。
本研究的数据来源于 2983 名比利时工人。出勤主义通过一个问题进行评估，该问题评估了过去一年中员工带病工作的频率。病假数据在 12 个月的随访期间进行登记。采用多逻辑回归分析。
在男性员工中，体重指数类别与出勤主义（至少两次带病工作）呈正相关且具有统计学意义，在女性人群中，体重指数类别是高病假（至少 10 天病假）的一个显著预测因素。最终的多变量模型表明，这些关系部分是由自我评估的健康状况介导的。
本研究结果表明，超重和肥胖员工的旷工和出勤主义存在性别差异。
