摘要:
This study was undertaken to determine if a progressive correlation exists between body mass index (BMI), health care costs, and absenteeism and to identify an economically optimal BMI. We studied 3,066 First Chicago NBD employees by using health risk appraisals and personnel data. Analysis was completed for those employees with and without a risk for BMI. People at risk for BMI are more likely to have additional health risks, short-term disability and illness absence, and higher health care costs than those not at risk for BMI. A "J-shaped" curve between health care costs and BMI exists, with the low point occurring at about 25 to 27 kg/m2. We concluded that indirect and direct costs to an employer increase with increasing BMI. Employers may benefit from helping employees achieve a healthy weight. The initial target population should be those who are at highest risk of complications from obesity.

摘要:
Employers have previously been shown to hold negative attitudes toward mental illness.1The purpose of this survey of human resource officers in UK companies was to ascertain whether these attitudes prejudice employment opportunities for subjects with mental illness-specifically, depression-and, if so, some of the beliefs upon which these attitudes are based. When employers were given vignettes of job applicants identical except for diagnosis, a label of depression significantly reduced the chances of employment, compared with one of diabetes, despite both being seen as equally credible illnesses. This stigmatization is based upon perceptions of potential poor work performance, rather than expectations of future absenteeism, but is not concordant with previous research. It is suggested that greater dissemination of information may alleviate some of this stigma.

摘要:
Patients with organic solvent-induced toxic encephalopathy (TE) (n = 13) were followed up seven years after the application of an intervention program. They were also compared with untreated TE patients diagnosed at the same time (n = 26) and with unexposed referents (n = 39). Psychological distress, social function, and coping ability and style were measured with the Symptom Checklist-90, Interview Schedule of Social Interaction, and Sense of Coherence and Strategies to Handle Stress questionnaires. Both TE groups had unchanged function in neuropsychological tests. Members of the treated group had improved their social functioning and reduced their mental stress but were not any better than the untreated patients. Compared with referents, the TE patients continued to live with increased psychological distress and used predominantly emotionally focused strategies to cope with their problems. This can be a cause for concern in family life and can also make gainful work impossible.

摘要:
This study evaluated the comparability of underlying cause of death codes obtained from NDI Plus, a new feature of the National Death Index (NDI), with codes assigned by two study nosologists or by a National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) nosologist. Two study nosologists and an NCHS nosologist independently reviewed the death certificates of 493 decedents and assigned each an International Classification of Diseases code for the underlying cause of death. Using the NCHS codes as the reference standard, we determined discrepancy rates for NDI Plus codes; for each study nosologist's original codes; and for "final study codes," derived by comparing the two sets of study nosologists' codes and resolving discrepancies by using the NCHS code. For all causes of death combined, the discrepancy rate was 4% for NDI Plus codes, 4% for the final study codes and 6%-7% for the study nosologists' original codes. The discrepancy rate for selecting the appropriate cancer site was 1% for NDI Plus codes and 3% for the final study codes. For noncancer conditions, the discrepancy rate was 5% for NDI Plus codes and 4% for the final study codes. NDI Plus underlying cause of death codes are comparable to codes developed using standard but more cumbersome procedures. The use of NDI Plus codes may enhance the validity of comparisons of an occupational cohort's mortality rates with national or state rates.
