评估英格兰医疗保健专业人员的肥胖率，并与那些在医疗服务之外工作的人进行比较。这项横断面研究基于英国5个 年(2008年至2012年)的全国代表性健康调查数据。英国。20 年龄17-65岁的103名成年人表明他们在调查时从事经济活动，分为四个职业类别：护士(n=422)、其他医疗专业人员(n=412)、未注册的护理人员(n=736)和从事非健康相关职业的个人(n=18 533)。肥胖患病率定义为体重指数≥30.095%，加权后反映人口。所有职业组的肥胖率都很高，包括：护士(25.1%， 95%CI 20.9%至29.4%)；其他医护人员(14.4%， 95%CI 11.0%至17.8%)；非健康相关职业(23.5%， 95%CI 22.9%至24.1%)；以及肥胖率最高的未注册护理人员(31.9%，95%CI 28.4%至35.3%)。根据社会人口学构成和调查年份调整的Logistic回归模型显示，与护士相比，其他医护人员肥胖的几率显著低于护士(调整后OR为0.52，95%CI为0.37至0.75)，而未注册护理人员肥胖的几率高于护士(调整后OR为1.46， 95%CI为1.11至1.93)。护士与非健康相关职业人群的肥胖率差异无统计学意义(AOR0.94， 95%CI 0.74~1.18)。护士和未登记的护理人员中肥胖率高令人担忧，因为它增加了肌肉骨骼疾病和精神健康疾病的风险，而这些疾病是保健服务中疾病缺勤的主要原因。需要进一步的研究来更好地了解英格兰医疗保健专业人员肥胖率高的原因，以便为支持个人实现并保持健康体重的干预措施提供信息。
To estimate obesity prevalence among healthcare professionals in England and compare prevalence with those working outside of the health services. Cross-sectional study based on data from 5 years (2008–2012) of the nationally representative Health Survey for England. England. 20 103 adults aged 17–65 years indicating they were economically active at the time of survey classified into four occupational groups: nurses (n=422), other healthcare professionals (n=412), unregistered care workers (n=736) and individuals employed in non-health-related occupations (n=18 533). Prevalence of obesity defined as body mass index ≥30.0 with 95% CIs and weighted to reflect the population. Obesity prevalence was high across all occupational groups including: among nurses (25.1%, 95% CI 20.9% to 29.4%); other healthcare professionals (14.4%, 95% CI 11.0% to 17.8%); non-health-related occupations (23.5%, 95% CI 22.9% to 24.1%); and unregistered care workers who had the highest prevalence of obesity (31.9%, 95% CI 28.4% to 35.3%). A logistic regression model adjusted for sociodemographic composition and survey year indicated that, compared with nurses, the odds of being obese were significantly lower for other healthcare professionals (adjusted OR (aOR) 0.52, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.75) and higher for unregistered care workers (aOR 1.46, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.93). There was no significant difference in obesity prevalence between nurses and people working in non-health-related occupations (aOR 0.94, 95% CI 0.74 to 1.18). High obesity prevalence among nurses and unregistered care workers is concerning as it increases the risks of musculoskeletal conditions and mental health conditions that are the main causes of sickness absence in health services. Further research is required to better understand the reasons for high obesity prevalence among healthcare professionals in England to inform interventions to support individuals to achieve and maintain a healthy weight.
