To estimate the prevalence of obesity and the change of prevalence of obesity between 2004-2007 and 2008-20011 by occupation among US workers in the National Health Interview Survey.
Self-reported weight and height were collected and used to assess obesity (body mass index ≥ 30 kg/m). Gender-, race/ethnicity-, and occupation-specific prevalence of obesity were calculated.
Prevalence of obesity steadily increased from 2004 through 2008 across gender and race/ethnicity but leveled off from 2008 through 2011. Non-Hispanic black female workers in health care support (49.2%) and transportation/material moving (46.6%) had the highest prevalence of obesity. Prevalence of obesity in relatively low-obesity (white-collar) occupations significantly increased between 2004-2007 and 2008-2011, whereas it did not change significantly in high-obesity (blue-collar) occupations.
Workers in all occupational categories are appropriate targets for health promotion and intervention programs to reduce obesity.
通过国家健康访谈调查，估计美国劳动者中按职业分类的肥胖患病率和 2004-2007 年与 2008-2011 年间肥胖患病率的变化。
收集自我报告的体重和身高数据，用于评估肥胖（身体质量指数≥30kg/m²）。计算出性别、种族/民族和职业特异性肥胖患病率。
从 2004 年到 2008 年，肥胖患病率在所有性别和种族/民族中持续上升，但从 2008 年到 2011 年趋于平稳。在医疗保健支持（49.2%）和交通运输/物料搬运（46.6%）职业中，非西班牙裔黑人女性的肥胖患病率最高。相对低肥胖（白领）职业的肥胖患病率在 2004-2007 年与 2008-2011 年间显著增加，而高肥胖（蓝领）职业的肥胖患病率没有显著变化。
所有职业类别的劳动者都是促进健康和实施干预项目以减少肥胖的合适目标人群。
