研究陶氏化学公司工作场所环境肥胖预防计划的第一年结果。对接受环境体重管理干预措施的9个处理工作地点（n= 8，013）和3个对照工作地点（n= 2，269）的员工进行了一项准实验性队列研究。使用卡方检验和t检验检查了员工体重、体重指数（BMI）和其他健康风险的变化。一年后，在体重和BMI方面观察到适度的治疗效果，主要是因为对照组受试者体重增加;然而，未观察到对超重和肥胖患病率的影响。其他危险因素（吸烟、高血压、收缩压和舒张压值）显著下降，但血糖（高风险患病率和值）增加。工作场所的环境变化可以在一年内实现员工健康风险的适度改善，包括体重和BMI测量。
To examine first-year results from a workplace environmental obesity prevention program at The Dow Chemical Company. A quasi-experimental cohort study was conducted among employees at nine treatment worksites (n=8,013) who received environmental weight management interventions and three control worksites (n=2,269). Changes in employees’ weight, body mass index (BMI), and other health risks were examined using chi-square and t-tests. After one year, a modest treatment effect was observed for weight and BMI largely because the control group subjects gained weight; however, no effect was observed for overweight and obesity prevalence. Other risk factors (tobacco use, high blood pressure, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure values) decreased significantly, although blood glucose (high risk prevalence and values) increased. Environmental changes to the workplace can achieve modest improvements in employees’ health risks, including weight and BMI measures, in one year.
