Abstract

Objective: Work-related falls have been recognized as a serious problem in occupational health in recent years. We investigated the effect of presenteeism on work-related falls.

Methods: This study was a prospective cohort study and included older workers in a single retail company. We used the degree of presenteeism (assessed using the Work Functioning Impairment Scale: WFun) as the independent variable and the number of work-related falls as the dependent variable. We estimated incidence rate ratios (IRR) by multilevel Poisson regression analysis.

Results: Increasing WFun score was associated with increasing IRR for the number of work-related falls (p for trend = 0.005).

Conclusions: We found that presenteeism was associated with work-related falls among older workers in the retail sector. This study suggests that the measurement of presenteeism may also represent a proxy measurement of the risk of work-related falls.

目的：近年来，工作相关跌倒已被视为职业健康领域的一个严重问题。我们研究了旷工对工作相关跌倒的影响：本研究是一项前瞻性队列研究，研究对象包括一家零售公司的老年工人。我们将旷工程度（使用工作功能障碍量表：WFun 进行评估）作为自变量，将与工作相关的跌倒次数作为因变量。我们通过多层次泊松回归分析估算了发病率比（IRR）：结果：WFun 分值的增加与工作相关跌倒次数的 IRR 增加相关（趋势 p = 0.005）：我们发现，旷工与零售业中老年工人因工跌倒有关。这项研究表明，对 "旷工 "的测量可能也是对工作相关跌倒风险的替代测量。
