■劳动力肥胖率的上升伴随着由于工作生产力的损失而给雇主带来的隐性成本负担。了解肥胖对工作效率的影响对于雇主在工作场所提供量身定制的减肥干预措施至关重要。
■与体重正常的员工相比,测量超重/肥胖员工的工作损失和相关的生产力成本。
■这项回顾性队列研究使用MerativeTMMarketScan®健康和生产力管理数据库来识别诊断代码≥1的成年雇员,该诊断代码报告体重指数(BMI)在2015年1月1日至2019年12月31日之间。根据最早的BMI,员工被分配到正常体重(BMI19-24.9),超重(BMI25-29.9),肥胖1级(BMI30-34.9),肥胖2级(BMI35-39.9),和肥胖3级(BMI≥40)队列。在拥有每个工作损失类别数据的员工中(旷工,短期残疾[性病],长期残疾[有限公司],工人补偿[WC])在12个月的随访期间,失业员工的百分比,损失的小时数/天数,并报告了相关的生产力成本。
■包括719,482名员工(正常体重:106,631,超重:230,637,肥胖1级:185,850,肥胖2级:101,909,肥胖3级:94,455)。每个较高的BMI类别的平均缺勤小时数([按BMI类别的顺序]:262、273、285、290、304)和有索赔的员工百分比(STD:6.8%,7.6%,9.7%,11.7%,17.0%;有限公司:0.4%,0.4%,0.5%,0.6%,0.8%;WC:2.7%,2.8%,3.4%,3.6%,3.5%)。雇主与旷工相关的估计费用,STD,LTD,与正常体重队列相比,肥胖3级队列和WC每年分别高出$1,036,$611,$38和$95.
■这项现实世界的分析表明,与体重正常的员工相比,超重/肥胖的员工的工作效率损失更高。有必要进行进一步的研究,以确定如果不治疗超重和肥胖,对工作效率损失的长期影响。
UNASSIGNED: Rising obesity rates in the workforce are accompanied by a hidden cost burden to employers due to work productivity loss. Understanding the impact of obesity on work productivity is essential for employers to provide tailored weight loss interventions in the workplace.
UNASSIGNED: To measure work loss and associated productivity costs among employees with overweight/obesity compared with employees with normal weight.
UNASSIGNED: This retrospective cohort study used the MerativeTM MarketScan® Health and Productivity Management Database to identify adult employees with ≥1 diagnosis code reporting a body mass index (BMI) between 1/1/2015-12/31/2019. Based on the earliest BMI, employees were assigned to normal weight (BMI 19-24.9), overweight (BMI 25-29.9), obesity class 1 (BMI 30-34.9), obesity class 2 (BMI 35-39.9), and obesity class 3 (BMI ≥40) cohorts. Among employees with data for each work loss category (absenteeism, short-term disability [STD], long-term disability [LTD], worker\'s compensation [WC]) during the 12-month follow-up, the percentage of employees with work loss, number of hours/days lost, and associated productivity costs were reported.
UNASSIGNED: 719,482 employees (normal weight: 106,631, overweight: 230,637, obesity class 1: 185,850, obesity class 2: 101,909, obesity class 3: 94,455) were included. Outcomes increased with each higher BMI category for the mean number of absence hours ([in order of BMI category]: 262, 273, 285, 290, 304) and percentage of employees with a claim (STD: 6.8%, 7.6%, 9.7%, 11.7%, 17.0%; LTD: 0.4%, 0.4%, 0.5%, 0.6%, 0.8%; WC: 2.7%, 2.8%, 3.4%, 3.6%, 3.5%). Estimated costs to the employer associated with absenteeism, STD, LTD, and WC were $1,036, $611, $38, and $95 higher per year (respectively) in the obesity class 3 cohort relative to the normal weight cohort.
UNASSIGNED: This real-world analysis demonstrated that employees with overweight/obesity had higher loss of work productivity compared with employees with normal weight. Further studies are warranted to determine the long-term impacts on work productivity loss if overweight and obesity are left untreated.
