Obesity is a global health issue known to have a major influence on health-related quality of life (HR-QOL). HR-QOL is a concept evaluating physical and psychological health. Work life can impact HR-QOL in people with obesity. The aim of this study was to measure the association between body mass index (BMI) and satisfaction with work life. This study included participants from an international multicenter field-test study of BODY-Q scales. Recruitment took place at hospitals in Denmark, The Netherlands and USA between June 2019 and January 2020. The BODY-Q Work Life scale was used to measure work life satisfaction. The difference between BMI groups and work life satisfaction was examined using one-way analysis of variance. Multivariable linear regression analysis was used to examine the association between BMI and work life satisfaction, adjusted for significant confounders. Of 4123 participants, 2515 completed the BODY-Q Work Life scale. BMI groups showed significant difference in work life satisfaction (p < .0001). The Work Life scale mean score was 77.6 for the normal BMI group, 78.5 for the overweight group and 75.0, 68.9 and 63.8 for Class 1, 2 and 3 obesity, respectively. Furthermore, BMI was significantly associated with satisfaction with work life (adjusted regression coefficient -.962, p < .0001). Higher BMI was associated with lower work life satisfaction. This finding suggests that a reduction in BMI may have a positive influence on work life satisfaction in people with obesity.
肥胖是一个全球性的健康问题，已知它对与健康相关的生活质量（HR-QOL）有重大影响。HR-QOL 是评估身心健康的一个概念。工作生活可能会影响肥胖人群的 HR-QOL。本研究的目的是测量体重指数（BMI）与工作生活满意度之间的关联。这项研究包括来自 BODY-Q 量表国际多中心现场测试研究的参与者。招募工作于 2019 年 6 月至 2020 年 1 月在丹麦、荷兰和美国的医院进行。使用 BODY-Q 工作生活量表来衡量工作生活满意度。使用单因素方差分析检查 BMI 组之间的差异和工作生活满意度。使用多变量线性回归分析，调整了显著混杂因素后，检验 BMI 与工作生活满意度之间的关联。在 4123 名参与者中，有 2515 名完成了 BODY-Q 工作生活量表。BMI 组在工作生活满意度方面存在显著差异（p < .0001）。正常 BMI 组的工作生活量表平均得分为 77.6，超重组为 78.5，而 1 类、2 类和 3 类肥胖组的平均得分分别为 75.0、68.9 和 63.8。此外，BMI 与工作生活满意度显著相关（调整后的回归系数为-.962，p < .0001）。BMI 越高，工作生活满意度越低。这一发现表明，肥胖人群的 BMI 降低可能对工作生活满意度产生积极影响。
