To determine the impact of an intensive behavioral weight management program on presenteeism and absenteeism in obese participants employed full-time.
Participants were recruited from the University of Michigan Weight Management program (WMP), a multidisciplinary lifestyle program targeting 15% body weight loss. Absenteeism and presenteeism were assessed using the World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (HPQ) at baseline and 6 months.
One hundred forty-two participants, predominantly college-educated white-collar employees, were included in the study. After 6 months in the program, there was no significant change in absenteeism or presenteeism compared with baseline. There was a trend towards reduced absenteeism.
Participation in an intensive weight management program did not adversely impact worker productive time. Conversely, our findings should be reassuring to employer groups and to employees with obesity concerned about time spent away from work.
确定强化行为体重管理方案对全职肥胖参与者的出勤和旷工的影响。
参与者从密歇根大学体重管理项目（WMP）招募，这是一个针对体重减轻 15%的多学科生活方式项目。在基线和 6 个月时，使用世界卫生组织健康和工作表现问卷（HPQ）评估旷工和出勤情况。
本研究纳入了 142 名参与者，他们主要是受过大学教育的白领员工。在该计划的 6 个月后，与基线相比，旷工或出勤情况没有显著变化。旷工人数呈减少趋势。
参加强化体重管理计划不会对工人的工作时间产生不利影响。相反，我们的研究结果应该让雇主群体和担心工作时间的肥胖员工感到放心。
