Description
Snezana Knezevic and co-authors link lifestyle factors to sick leave in Serbia's workers. Their 2024 paper uses the 2019 National Health Survey, with 4,652 working people. Women took more sick leave than men, for both short and long spells. The team checked weight, diet, activity, smoking, and drinking, split by sex.
Obesity and poor fruit and vegetable intake tied to sick leave in men, as did smoking and risky drinking. In women, smoking and risky drinking were the main predictors. Diet and activity links were uneven in both sexes, which the authors tie to reporting and definition issues. They urge action on smoking and risky drinking to cut leave rates. More work is needed on diet and activity roles.
