Abstract
Obesity significantly contributes to morbidity burden as compared to other nutritional deficiencies. However, beyond its health implications obesity is closely linked to economic and labour market repercussions, especially in informal labour market where the costs can be manifold. Therefore, to investigate the obesity related risk factors and burden associated with it, we analysed the impact of obesity on India’s elderly labour market given its expanding size and predominantly informal in nature using the latest round of LASI data on older adults. By employing marginal effects to study the difference in probabilities and population attributed risk to measure the burden associated with obesity. Our results showed some considerable impact of obesity on both work status and health burden associated with obesity among non-working older adults in India. Therefore strong policy measures are required to lower this obesity burden and minimise its associated health risks in India.
与其他营养缺乏症相比，肥胖症大大加重了发病负担。然而，除了对健康的影响外，肥胖还与经济和劳动力市场的影响密切相关，特别是在非正规劳动力市场，其成本可能是多方面的。因此，为了调查与肥胖相关的风险因素和负担，我们利用最新一轮的 LASI 老年人数据，分析了肥胖对印度老年人劳动力市场的影响，因为印度老年人劳动力市场规模不断扩大，而且主要是非正规劳动力市场。通过采用边际效应研究概率差异和人口归因风险来衡量与肥胖相关的负担。我们的研究结果表明，肥胖对印度无工作的老年人的工作状况和与肥胖相关的健康负担都有相当大的影响。因此，印度需要采取强有力的政策措施来降低肥胖带来的负担，并将其相关的健康风险降至最低。
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
