为了研究工作类型、体重状况和生活方式因素之间的关系，这些因素可能导致肥胖，包括饮食、身体活动和感知压力。在24个工作地点随机选择员工完成基线调查（n=1700）；有些还进行了亲自调查和人体测量（n=1568）。根据美国劳工标准，员工被分为：白领（n=1297），蓝领（n=303），或服务工人（n=92），未知8人。使用卡方、GLM程序分析关联，并使用Logistic回归对人口统计学进行调整。在未调整的模型中，服务业人员的BMI高于白领；服务业和蓝领的餐饮摄入量高于白领；白领在工作和生活中压力最大。然而，在人口统计学调整后的模型中，唯一的显著差异是体力活动（即每周MET/min），蓝领工人报告的体力活动水平高于服务工人，服务工人报告的体力活动水平高于白领工人。未来的研究应进一步研究健康与工作状态之间的关系，以证实当前研究的结果，并考虑设计未来根据工作类别量身定制的工作场所健康促进干预措施。
To examine the relationship between job type, weight status and lifestyle factors that are potential contributors to obesity including, diet, physical activity and perceived stress among employees enrolled in the Working on Wellness (WOW) project. Randomly selected employees at 24 worksites completed a baseline survey (n=1700); some also an in-person survey and anthropometric measures (n=1568). Employees were classified by US Labor standards as: white collar (n=1297), blue collar (n=303), or service worker (n=92), 8 unknown. Associations were analyzed using Chi-Square, GLM procedures, and adjusted for demographics using Logistic Regression. In unadjusted models, BMI of service workers was higher than white collar workers; F&V intake was higher for service and blue collar than white collar; white collar workers reported highest stress levels in job and life. However, in models adjusted for demographics, the only significant difference was to physical activity (i.e., MET/min per week), with blue collar workers reporting higher levels of physical activity than service workers, who reported higher levels than the white collar workers. Future research should further examine the relationship between health and job status to corroborate the results of the current study and to consider designing future worksite health promotion interventions that are tailored by job category.
