This study aimed to test the hypotheses that individuals with obesity are at higher risk of unemployment and sickness absence and have a lower chance of getting employed compared with individuals with normal weight.
Data on weight and height were collected at baseline from 87,796 participants in the Danish National Health Survey 2010. Participants were then followed in national registers for 5 years. Outcome measures were transitions from employment to unemployment and sickness absence and the transitions from unemployment or sickness absence to employment. Data were analyzed by Cox proportional hazards models adjusted for potential confounders.
Hazard ratios for unemployment were 1.18 (95% CI: 1.10-1.26) for individuals with obesity and 1.27 (95% CI: 1.14-1.41) for individuals with severe obesity compared with individuals with normal weight. Participants with obesity also had a higher risk of sickness absence. Additionally, participants with obesity who were unemployed at baseline had a lower chance of becoming employed compared with participants with normal weight.
Obesity was associated with a higher risk of unemployment and sickness absence compared with individuals with normal weight. Additionally, obesity was associated with a lower chance of employment.
本研究旨在检验以下假设，即与体重正常者相比，肥胖个体失业和病假的风险更高，就业的机会更低。
2010 年丹麦全国健康调查在基线时收集了 87796 名参与者的体重和身高数据。随后，参与者在国家登记处随访了 5 年。结局指标为从就业到失业和病假的转变，以及从失业或病假到就业的转变。通过调整潜在混杂因素的 Cox 比例风险模型对数据进行分析。
与体重正常者相比，肥胖个体的失业风险比为 1.18（95%CI：1.10-1.26），严重肥胖个体的失业风险比为 1.27（95%CI：1.14-1.41）。肥胖个体也有更高的病假风险。此外，与体重正常者相比，基线时失业的肥胖参与者就业的机会更低。
与体重正常者相比，肥胖与更高的失业和病假风险相关。此外，肥胖与较低的就业机会相关。
