Sick leave and obesity
Submitted by Dr David Allen on Fri, 29/05/2009 - 11:35.
Interesting for workplaces new research in Obesity Reviews "Obesity status and sick leave: a systematic review K. Neovius et al (2009) 10, 17–27" shows that obesity leads to more sick leave - up to 10 more days per year particularly for longer spells off work. Also they found that four studies of weight loss intervention led to reductions in sick leave. So you can be reassured that soundly based weight loss interventions in the workplace may be cost effective.

I think there are other
I think there are other health problems associated with obesity that can also cause an individual's sick leave. It can be due to hypertension, depression, high blood pressure and difficulty in breathing.
