“…23 Height was assessed as a continuous variable, and weight categories provided ranges to decrease nonresponse for what many consider a sensitive variable: 1 = less than 100 lb; 2 = 100 to 129 lb; 3 = 130 to 159 lb; 4 = 160 to 189 lb; 5 = 190 to 200 lb; and 6 = greater than 200 lb. Three sets of BMI estimates were calculated using the minimum, median, and maximum values of the body weight ranges for each category.…”

“…In 18 studies, weight-related outcomes were selfreported (a possible detection bias). A possible attrition bias was found in 3 longitudinal (63, 88, 91) and 3 cross-sectional studies (60,66,89). More than half of the studies (23 out of 36) reported at least one positive association between psychosocial factors at work and a weight-related outcome (table 2).…”

This is a systematic review of associations of psychosocial factors at work and long work hours with weight-related outcomes. Reviewed studies provide some evidence for associations between psychosocial factors at work and excess weight and between long work hours and weight gain. Cohort studies of high quality using appropriate analytical methods based on an elaborated hypothetical model are needed. Affiliation 241Review Scand J Work Environ Health. 2013;39(3):241-258. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3364 Psychosocial factors at work, long work hours, and obesity: a systematic review Objectives Associations between psychosocial work environment and excess weight have not been systematically addressed. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize the published evidence for the associations of psychosocial factors at work and long work hours with weight-related outcomes. MethodsWe conducted a search of Medline and Embase for all original articles published up to September 2012 using predefined keywords. After excluding studies with a definite selection bias, we included 39 articles.Results About 60% of the studies reported at least one positive association between psychosocial factors at work and a weight-related outcome. However, 76% of the tested associations were found to be non-significant. Furthermore, the associations were rather weak. Studies of higher quality tended to observe associations more often than those of lower quality. Positive associations were found more frequently (i) among women versus men, (ii) in cross-sectional versus longitudinal studies, and (iii) for overweight or obesity versus other outcomes. About 70% of the studies reported positive associations between long work hours and weight-related outcomes. All four studies that evaluated the association between working overtime and weight gain (three longitudinal and one cross-sectional), showed a positive association among men and two of them also observed associations among women. ConclusionsWe found evidence for weak associations between psychosocial factors at work and excess weight.Associations were observed between long work hours, working overtime, and weight gain, especially among men. More cohort studies among non-obese baseline participants using appropriate analytical methods based on an elaborated hypothetical model are needed.
