To examine employees' self-reported physical activity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) risks and their association with health-related workplace outcomes.
Employees participated in a health risk appraisal in 2010. Generalized Linear Modeling was used to test the association between MetS risk factors, physical activity, and the outcome measures while controlling for confounders.
MetS was found in 30.2% of employees. Health care costs for employees with MetS who reported sufficient exercise (150 or more minutes/week) totaled $2770 compared with $3855 for nonsufficient exercisers. The percentage of employees with MetS who had absenteeism and presenteeism was also significantly lower for employees achieving sufficient physical activity. All risk factors for MetS were mitigated for regular exercisers.
Employers should consider programs and services to support regular aerobic exercise to address the growing prevalence and costs of MetS in the workforce.
研究员工自我报告的身体活动水平和代谢综合征（MetS）风险及其与与健康相关的工作场所结果的关系。
员工于 2010 年参加健康风险评估。采用广义线性建模，在控制混杂因素的情况下，检验 MetS 风险因素、身体活动与结局指标之间的关系。
发现 30.2%的员工患有 MetS。报告每周进行足够运动（150 分钟或以上）的 MetS 员工的医疗费用总计为 2770 美元，而运动不足的员工则为 3855 美元。达到足够身体活动水平的员工中，患有 MetS 且出现缺勤和出勤的员工比例也显著降低。经常锻炼者的 MetS 所有风险因素均得到缓解。
雇主应考虑制定计划和提供服务，以支持定期进行有氧运动，以解决劳动力中 MetS 患病率和费用不断增加的问题。
