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. Thirty-six employees (BMI ≥30 kg/m ² ) received 6 months of free telemedicine endocrinology consultations. This metrics were compared with 164 workers (BMI ≥ 30 kg/m ² ) using the Student t 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/m ² vs 0.03 kg/m ² ), 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 nonparticipants. 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.

Objectives: This study aimed to identify the most frequent consultations over 2 years in the Occupational Health Service of a Spanish multinational bank in Madrid. Methods: The authors performed a cross-sectional study; consultations were classified by ICD, sex, and age. Associations with sex, age group, month, year, and weekday were tested using Pearson's χ ² ; age across categories was tested using with Kruskal-Wallis; and logistic regression estimated the effects of sex and age. The dataset lacked an indicator to distinguish occupational from nonoccupational causes; all visits were analyzed. Results: From June 2022 to June 2024, 6448 visits were recorded. Sex was balanced (48.5% men, 51.5% women); 58.6% were aged 35 to 50 years. Otolaryngology (32.4%) and traumatology (12.9%) predominated; upper respiratory infections led (24.6%). Significant associations appeared with sociodemographic ( P < 2.2 e − 16). Consultations varied by month (χ ² , P < 0.05) and by weekday (χ ² , P = 0.045). Conclusions: Results support resource planning and highlight the strategic role of occupational health services.

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.
