Weight Loss Success Improved by Focusing on Immediate Health Effects
Researchers collected baseline individual weight and musculoskeletal pain data related to nine body regions: neck, shoulders, elbows, hands and wrists, upper back, lower back, hips, knees and lower legs and feet. Participants were then tracked each week to record any weight loss and asked to rate their pain on a scale of zero to 10 every other week.
"From an ergonomics perspective, we can only do so much to alter the work environment to remove body stressors. Excess weight adds additional stress to the musculoskeletal system and that can only be relieved through weight loss," Kotowski said.
The study was published in the August 2010 issue of the journal Work.
