Objective: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a workplace health promotion program targeting obesity. Methods: Weight loss, body mass index (BMI), and abdominal circumference were measured before and after the program during medical check-ups at a single workplace.36 employees (BMI ≥30 kg/m2) received six months of free telemedicine endocrinology consultations. This metrics were compared with 164 workers (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2) using the t-Student test and Odds Ratio. Results: Participants lost more weight (1.98 kg on average vs. 0.11 kg), OR: 1.5 (0.72-3.12), BMI (0.84 kg/m2 vs. 0.03 kg/m2), OR: 2.16 (0.99-4.68), and abdominal circumference (1.06 cm vs. 0.55 cm), OR: 1.07 (0.51-2.25) than non-participants. Conclusions: The program was slightly more effective than standard verbal and written medical advice given during check-ups. Studies with bigger sample sizes are needed to support these findings.

Seasonal influenza, also known as the flu, causes significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. It constitutes a public health issue with mayor socioeconomic implications. Vaccination is the primary preventive measure against influenza. This study aimed to describe the 2022-23 flu vaccination campaign at the workplace of a financial company in Spain. This descriptive cross-sectional study included data from the 4,807 vaccinated employees, which represents 14% of the workforce. Statistical analysis was conducted based on gender, age, and workplace (Madrid, outside Madrid) using Pearson's Chi-square test, logistic regression, and Odds ratio. This paper reports an appointment adherence rate exceeding 90%. Employees working in Madrid were 3.41 times more likely to have been vaccinated compared to those outside Madrid (95% CI, 3.17 to 3.68). Compared to younger workers, individuals aged 44 and older were 1.57 times more likely to have received the vaccine (95% CI, 1.46 to 1.66). The workplace provides a convenient setting for flu vaccination campaigns. The geographical dispersion and remoteness of the Medical Centre's location affect the flu vaccination rate. Significant regulatory differences have been identified between the CDC and the Spanish Ministry of Health regarding vaccination in the working-age population.
Teleworking for Medical Reasons: Evidence From a Spanish Multinational Company
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2024-11-01) Reinoso-Barbero, Luis; Gieco, Antonella; López-Ríos, Adriana; Rodríguez-Díaz, Jose Luis; Gómez-Paredes, Laura; Muñoz-Gutiérrez, Juan; Pérez-Herreras, Cristina; Gómez-Gallego, Félix
Objectives: The aim of the study is to describe the most common medical grounds for requesting or extending teleworking and to examine which requests are typically approved. This study also investigates whether there is a correlation with gender, age, or job location. Methods: A prevalence study of 33,190 Spanish employees found that, last year, 106 teleworking requests were addressed exclusively for medical reasons. Results: The most frequent cause was musculoskeletal issues (30%). Of all the requests, 58% were denied; 33% were temporarily approved, primarily for musculoskeletal reasons ( P < 0.05); and 8% were indefinitely approved. Requests were predominantly made by women ( P < 0.05). Indefinite approvals were more prevalent among male employees ( P < 0.05). Conclusions: Musculoskeletal reasons were the primary cause for teleworking applications and for the temporary granting of teleworking. Teleworking appears to be associated with gender and job location.
