BACKGROUND: Obesity and long term health condition (LTHC) are major public health concerns that have an impact on productivity losses at work. Little is known about the longitudinal association between obesity and LTHC with impaired productivity. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to explore the longitudinal association between obesity and LTHC with presenteeism or working while sick. DESIGN: Longitudinal research design. SETTING: Australian workplaces. METHODS: This study pooled individual-level data of 111,086 employees collected in wave 6 through wave 18 from the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. The study used a Generalized Estimating Equation (GEE) model with logistic link function to estimate the association. RESULTS: The findings suggest that overweight (Odds Ratios [OR]: 1.09, 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 1.05-1.14), obesity (OR: 1.38, 95% CI: 1.31-1.45), and LTHC (OR: 3.03, 95% CI: 2.90-3.16) are significantly positively associated with presenteeism. CONCLUSIONS: The longitudinal association between obesity and LTHC with presenteeism among Australian employees implies that interventions to improve workers' health and well-being will reduce the risk of presenteeism at work.
背景:肥胖和长期健康状况(LTHC)是重大的公共卫生关注点,会对工作中的生产力损失产生影响。肥胖与 LTHC 导致生产力下降之间的纵向关联知之甚少。 目的:本研究旨在探讨肥胖与 LTHC 与出勤或带病工作之间的纵向关联。 设计:纵向研究设计。 地点:澳大利亚工作场所。 方法:本研究汇集了来自澳大利亚家庭、收入和劳动力动态调查(HILDA)第 6 波至第 18 波的 111086 名员工的个人层面数据。研究使用广义估计方程(GEE)模型和逻辑链接函数来估计关联。 结果:研究结果表明,超重(优势比 [OR]:1.09,95%置信区间 [CI]:1.05-1.14)、肥胖(OR:1.38,95% CI:1.31-1.45)和 LTHC(OR:3.03,95% CI:2.90-3.16)与出勤显著正相关。 结论:澳大利亚员工肥胖与 LTHC 与出勤之间的纵向关联表明,改善工人健康和福祉的干预措施将降低工作中出勤的风险。
