title: [Impact of obesity-related disability in different work categories].
abstract: Absenteeism and sick leave are often reported in obese workers. To evaluate disability work related we assess 180 overweight-obese subjects [BMI 34,6 + 6,4, range 26,0-59,0) with TSD-OC questionnaire divided into 7 items (pain; stiffness; ADL; housework; IADL; occupational activities; social life) with a total of 36 visual analogue scales. Among the job categories, health-care workers showed the highest TSD-OC total score (26,9 + 22,5%, ANOVA p < 0,05) and BMI (BMI 37,7 + 6,9 kg/m2). Among the items, pain was statistically significant in health-care workers (16,1 + 13,2%), in Services (16,3 + 14,3%), in Education (15,1 + 11,4%) and in Administration (13,3 +11,0%) ( p <0,05). "Occupational activities" item was statistically significant in health-care (11, 6 +10,6%, p <0,05).
