| description | BACKGROUND:Obesity is associated with an increased risk for many chronic illnesses and disability.
OBJECTIVE:To assess the relationship between obesity and delayed return to work and workersʼ compensation claim costs for both minor and significant injuries.
METHOD:There were 1107 workers who filed a workersʼ compensation claim with the Louisiana Workersʼ Compensation Corporation in 2011 that were followed up to the end of the first quarter of 2014.
RESULT:Adjusting for sex, age, marital status, and attorney involvement, the odds ratio of an obese versus normal weight claimant returning to work after a severe injury was 3.58 (95% confidence interval, 1.26 to 10.14) and claim expenses $100,000 or more, 3.19 (95% confidence interval, 1.18 to 8.62).
CONCLUSIONS:Obesity was associated with increased time lost from work and costs among workersʼ compensation claimants sustaining severe, but not minor injuries. |
