“…Despite the availability of the above psychometrically sound instruments [33] and even a cardiac specific tool-the Angina-Related Limitations at Work Questionnaire [34]; none used disease-specific instruments and several studies described measuring presenteeism using study-specific measures. [25,26,28,35] Only Munir [35,36] and Lerner [37] reported study specific instrument psychometrics. This is a notable limitation in this area of research.…”

“…Further, as the number of conditions increased that included CHD, the degree of limitations also increased. Conversely, Burton, et al [28] used self-reported HRA data and biometric screening results to examine the prevalence and impact of metabolic syndrome including hypertension and high cholesterol in a large financial services employer group (n=5512). They found no association of metabolic syndrome or cardiometabolic risk with presenteeism, which was measured by a short version of the WLQ.…”

“…Only 2 studies specifically targeted CHD [25,26]; 6 included other diagnoses but provided results related to CHD, and 3 used health risk data including biometric data (cholesterol and blood pressure) [27][28][29] to define "heart disease". The literature was fairly representative of varied workplace sectors that included government, healthcare and social assistance, public safety, services, transportation and manufacturing [30].…”

Abstract:As the American workforce ages, health problems associated with the aging process, like coronary heart disease (CHD) raise new occupational health issues. To date, research on employment among patients with CHD has focused on return to work after an adverse event (e.g., heart attack) as an outcome with little attention paid to how workers function once back at work. The purpose of this integrative literature review was to examine presenteesim among older workers with CHD. The electronic databases that were utilized for this review include: Pubmed, CINAHL, Medline, and PsycInfo with limitations set as published in English from 1992 to 2012 and adults over age 45 (to capture studies focused on older workers). Twelve studies in which presenteeism was measured in older workers with CHD were reviewed. There were 3 key findings: 1) definitions and measurement of presenteeism and CHD diagnosis were inconsistent, 2) the primary focus was on quantifying the economic impact of presenteeism, and 3) job-level and individual-level factors that potentially influence presenteeism were not addressed. Implications for future research include the need for methods that address the gaps identified in this review. Recommendations include the need for longitudinal studies that specifically focus on older workers with CHD and development and testing of theoretical frameworks to guide research design.

“…Analyses from the general population have revealed excessive weight gain (WG) as an important risk factor for developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) [2,3] . MetS is also becoming an important concern in workplaces [4][5][6] for its impacts on both the health condition [7] and productivity [8] of employees. Excessive WG is common in the early-middle-aged population [9,10] who account for the majority of the workforce.…”

AIM:To quantitatively examine the impacts of an easyto-measure parameter -weight gain -on metabolic syndrome development among middle-aged adults. METHODS:We conducted a five-year interval observational study. A total of 1384 middle-aged adults not meeting metabolic syndrome (MetS) criteria at the initial screening were included in our analysis. Baseline data such as MetS-components and lifestyle factors were collected in 2002. Body weight and MetS-components were measured in both 2002 and 2007. Participants were classified according to proximal quartiles of weight gain (WG) in percentages (%WG ≤ 1%, 1% < %WG ≤ 5%, 5% < %WG ≤ 10% and %WG > 10%, defined as: control, mild-WG, moderate-WG and severe-WG groups, respectively) at the end of the follow-up. Multivariate models were used to assess the association between MetS outcome and excessive WG in the total population, as well as in both genders. RESULTS:In total, 175 (12.6%) participants fulfilled MetS criteria within five years. In comparison to the control group, mild-WG adults had an insignificant risk for MetS development while adults having moderate-WG had a 3.0-fold increased risk for progression to MetS [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.8-5.1], and this risk was increased 5.4-fold (95% CI, 3.0-9.7) in subjects having severe-WG. For females having moderate-and severe-WG, the risk for developing MetS was 3.6 (95% CI, 1.03-12.4) and 5.5 (95% CI, 1.4-21.4), respectively. For males having moderate-and severe-WG, the odds ratio for MetS outcome was respectively 3.0 (95% CI, 1.6-5.5) and 5.2 (95% CI, 2.6-10.2). CONCLUSION:For early-middle-aged healthy adults with a five-year weight gain over 5%, the severity of weight gain is related to the risk for developing metabolic syndrome.
