Work ability is related to many factors that might influence one's capacity to work. This study aimed to examine the work ability and its related factors among small and medium enterprises (SME) workers in 4 Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries. The participants in this study included 2098 workers from food and textile industries in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam. A cross-sectional survey of anonymous self-administrated questionnaire was designed to collect information on sociodemographic factors, work environment and ergonomic condition, musculoskeletal disorders, and work ability. Bivariate correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression analyses were used to predict the work ability. Results of this study confirm that work ability in 4 ASEAN countries was similar to that in European countries, and that the sociodemographic factors, work environment and ergonomic condition, and musculoskeletal disorder (MSD) were associated with work ability. These factors are important for considering occupational health and safety policy to promote work ability in food, textile, and other SME workers.

“…De forma geral, o declínio da saúde pode restringir a capacidade física e funcional e, consequentemente, afetar a capacidade de trabalho. Esse resultado ratifica os achados de outros estudos em que as características do trabalho e suas demandas físicas impactaram de forma negativa a capacidade do trabalhador responder a estas exigências físicas 7,23,30,38 . Assim, funções com alta exigência física têm sido associadas a pior capacidade para o trabalho 22,29,37 e reforçam a necessidade do desenvolvimento de ações preventivas direcionadas aos aspectos ligados ao domínio físico.…”

“…Nesse cenário, os programas de intervenção voltados à melhora na capacidade para o trabalho e qualidade de vida são essenciais para a manutenção da produtividade das organizações de trabalho, para a diminuição dos índices de afastamentos no trabalho e prevenção de doenças 9,13,23 . Os resultados apontam para uma relação entre capacidade para o trabalho e qualidade de vida e indicam ser fundamental o desenvolvimento de atividades que promovam a saúde e qualidade de vida dos trabalhadores.…”

“…Smoking is also associated with a decrease in work productivity (Berman et al 2014;Bunn et al 2006;Halpern et al 2001;Sherman and Lynch 2013). Most studies found negative associations between smoking and work ability [i.e., self-assessed work ability in relation to an individual's resources and job demands (Van den Berg et al 2009)] (Airila et al 2012;Augusto et al 2015;Mohammadi et al 2014;Tuomi et al 1991), while one study did not find an association (Fischer and Martinez 2013). Furthermore, smoking is associated with a risk of early exit from work (Bengtsson and Nilsson 2018;Husemoen et al 2004).…”

Purpose The aim of this study was to assess the association between sustained smoking and quitting with work-related outcomes among older workers. Methods We categorized a sample of older employees into non-smokers, sustained smokers and quitters. Multivariable regression models were used to test longitudinal associations of sustained smoking and smoking cessation with sickness absence, productivity loss and work ability. Results We included 3612 non-smokers, 673 sustained smokers and 246 quitters. Comparing sustained smokers to non-smokers, we found higher (but not statistically significant) sickness absence for sustained smokers [1.01, 95% confidence interval (CI) − 0.16–2.17]. We did not find differences in productivity loss (OR 0.82, 95% CI 0.60–1.13) and work ability (0.05, 95% CI −0.05–0.15). For employees with a relatively high physical health at baseline, comparing quitters to sustained smokers, we found higher (but not statistically significant) productivity loss for quitters (OR 2.23, 95% CI 0.94–5.31), and no difference in sickness absence (0.10, 95% CI − 2.67–2.87), and work ability (− 0.10, 95% CI − 0.36–0.16). For employees with a relatively low physical health at baseline, comparing quitters to sustained smokers, we found a statistically significant lower work ability (− 0.31, 95% CI − 0.57–0.05), and no difference in sickness absence (2.53, 95% CI − 1.29–6.34) and productivity loss (OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.66–2.39). Conclusions We found no evidence that sustained smokers have less favorable work-related outcomes than non-smokers or that quitters have more favorable work-related outcomes than sustained smokers. The benefits of smoking cessation for employers might take a longer time to develop.
