  • Public Health

Context:

  • Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects a significant portion of the working population.
  • Assessing the impact of T2D on professional life is crucial for workforce productivity.
  • Non-insulin-requiring T2D poses unique challenges in managing employee health and work capacity.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the effect of non-insulin-requiring Type 2 diabetes on employee productivity.
  • To quantify absenteeism, presenteeism, and reduced productivity in diabetic workers.
  • To identify factors associated with impaired work performance in T2D.

Summary:

  • A cross-sectional study compared 75 T2D employees with 75 healthy controls in the textile sector.
  • The Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire-General Health (WPAI-GH) was used to assess work-related outcomes.
