The Quantity and Quality method assessed work productivity. Physical function was evaluated through pulmonary tests, grip and knee extension strength, SpO₂, pulse rate, respiratory rate, 6-minute walk distance (6MWD), recovery time, and Borg scale ratings.Results: Twenty-nine participants were analyzed. Reduced work productivity correlated with decreased FEV₁/FVC, decreased Nagasaki University Respiratory Activities of Daily Living scores, decreased 6MWD, and extended recovery time. Annual productivity loss averaged 42%. 6MWD independently predicted productivity loss, with ≤220 m strongly indicating risk.Conclusion: 6MWD predicts dyspnea-related productivity loss; monitoring exercise tolerance may help maintain work productivity in respiratory disease.","PeriodicalId":94100,"journal":{"name":"Journal of occupational and environmental medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2026-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147847987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Multiple linear regression estimated temporal trends across industry-specific WC claim rates, pre-pandemic (2014-2019) and post-pandemic (2020-2023). Negative binomial models estimated risk ratios (RR) across occupation groups, with Office and Administrative Support as reference.Results: Rates declined in most industries, including Public Administration and Construction. Transportation, Retail, and Management of Companies remained high without long-term declines. Elevated RRs were identified in Transportation and Material Moving (RR=3.11), Production (RR=1.70), and Healthcare Practitioners (RR=1.31) occupations.Conclusions: Despite overall declines, industry- and occupation-specific risks persist in Pennsylvania.

Well-being was assessed using the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and the Flourishing Scale (FS). Correlations between these scores and tone-entropy distance were examined.Results: Among 149 participants, significant, though small, correlations were observed between tone-entropy distance and SWLS and FS scores (r = -0.25, -0.30, respectively).
