This study evaluated the cardiometabolic, behavioral, and psychosocial factors associated with weight status among hospital employees.
A total of n = 924 employees across the six hospitals in Texas participated in this cross-sectional study, 2012 to 2013. Association between weight status and waist circumference, blood pressure, biomarkers, diet, physical activity, sedentary behaviors, and psychosocial factors was assessed.
About 78.1% of employees were overweight/obese. Obese participants (body mass index [BMI] ≥30.0 kg/m) had higher consumption of potatoes, fats, sugary beverages, and spent more time watching television, playing computer games, and sitting than those having normal weight. Being obese was positively associated with blood pressure, blood glucose, low-density lipoprotein, and negatively associated with high-density lipoprotein. Finally, 78.8% of workers were dissatisfied with their worksite wellness with dissatisfaction being higher among obese employees. Being overweight (BMI 25.0 to 29.9 kg/m) was positively associated with blood pressure, but not other variables.
Understanding the risk profile of hospital workers is critical to developing effective interventions.
本研究评估了医院员工中与体重状况相关的心脏代谢、行为和心理社会因素。
2012年至2013年，得克萨斯州六家医院的924名员工参与了这项横断面研究。评估了体重状况与腰围、血压、生物标志物、饮食、身体活动、久坐行为和心理社会因素之间的关联。
约78.1%的员工超重/肥胖。肥胖参与者（体重指数[BMI]≥30.0kg/m²）比体重正常者食用更多的土豆、脂肪、含糖饮料，且花更多时间看电视、玩电脑游戏和久坐。肥胖与血压、血糖、低密度脂蛋白呈正相关，与高密度脂蛋白呈负相关。最后，78.8%的员工对工作场所的健康状况不满意，肥胖员工的不满程度更高。超重（BMI 25.0至29.9kg/m²）与血压呈正相关，但与其他变量无关。
了解医院工作人员的风险状况对于制定有效的干预措施至关重要。
