ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to quantify the relationship between workers' body mass index and work productivity within various occupations.METHODS:
Data from two administrations (2014 and 2015) of the United States (US) National Health and Wellness Survey, an Internet-based survey administered to an adult sample of the US population, were used for this study (nâ=â59,772). Occupation was based on the US Department of Labor's 2010 Standardized Occupation Codes. Outcomes included work productivity impairment and indirect costs of missed work time.RESULTS:
Obesity had the greatest impact on work productivity in Construction, followed by Arts and Hospitality occupations. Outcomes varied across occupations; multivariable analyses found significant differences in work productivity impairment and indirect costs between normal weight and at least one obesity class.CONCLUSION:
Obesity differentially impacted productivity and costs, depending upon occupation.
