To determine the relationship between lifestyle variables including body mass index and filing a workers' compensation claim due to firefighter injury.
A cross-sectional evaluation of firefighter injury related to workers" compensation claims occurring 5 years after the original Promoting Healthy Lifestyles: Alternative Models' Effects study intervention.
A logistic regression analysis for variables predicting filing a workers' compensation claim due to an injury was performed with a total of 433 participants. The odds of filing a compensation claim were almost 3 times higher for firefighters with a body mass index of more than 30 kg/m than firefighters with a normal body mass index (odds ratio, 2.89; P < 0.05).
This study addresses a high-priority area of reducing firefighter injuries and workers' compensation claims. Maintaining a healthy body weight is important to reduce injury and workers' compensation claims among firefighters.
确定生活方式变量(包括体重指数)与因消防员受伤而提出工人赔偿要求之间的关系。
对最初的“促进健康生活方式:替代模式的影响”研究干预 5 年后因工人赔偿要求而导致的消防员伤害进行横断面评估。
对共有 433 名参与者的因受伤而提出工人赔偿要求的预测变量进行了逻辑回归分析。体重指数超过 30 kg/m2 的消防员提出赔偿要求的可能性几乎是体重指数正常的消防员的 3 倍(比值比,2.89;P<0.05)。
这项研究解决了减少消防员受伤和工人赔偿要求的高优先级领域。保持健康的体重对于减少消防员的伤害和工人赔偿要求非常重要。
