OBJECTIVE: To examine the possible effects of physical activity, sports, and restrained eating on the relationship between overweight and absenteeism. METHODS: Using a web-based lifestyle questionnaire, responses were obtained from 3030 employees in a large banking corporation. These data were then coupled with data from the company's absenteeism register. RESULTS: Physical activity and sports acted as moderator variables in that they both attenuated the positive relationship between overweight and/or obesity and absenteeism. Restrained eating also moderated the relationship between overweight and absenteeism. Remarkably, the degree of overweight was more strongly related to augmented absenteeism in people with higher levels of restrained eating. CONCLUSION: To reduce absenteeism in overweight employees, it may be beneficial to focus on stimulating physical activity and not on interventions aimed at promoting dieting (restrained eating). |
