| h English (en) | [[File:Wide Chair.jpg|thumb|left|upright=1.3|alt=An extra wide chair beside a number of normal sized chairs.|Services accommodate obese people with specialized equipment such as much wider chairs.]] Obesity can lead to social stigmatization and disadvantages in employment. When compared to their normal weight counterparts, obese workers on average have higher rates of absenteeism from work and take more disability leave, thus increasing costs for employers and decreasing productivity. A study examining Duke University employees found that people with a BMI over 40 kg/m<sup>2</sup> filed twice as many [[workers' compensation]] claims as those whose BMI was 18.5–24.9 kg/m<sup>2</sup>. They also had more than 12 times as many lost work days. The most common injuries in this group were due to falls and lifting, thus affecting the lower extremities, wrists or hands, and backs. The Alabama State Employees' Insurance Board approved a controversial plan to charge obese workers $25 a month for health insurance that would otherwise be free unless they take steps to lose weight and improve their health. These measures started in January 2010 and apply to those state workers whose BMI exceeds 35 kg/m<sup>2</sup> and who fail to make improvements in their health after one year. |
