This paper presents baseline findings from a pilot study that aimed to implement RESHAPE at three mine sites in NSW, Australia, and investigates the issue of overweight and obesity in the coal mining industry. Across three mine sites, 949 coal miners were examined cross-sectionally on a range of workplace, wellness, health, diet, and exercise factors using a paper-based survey. This was a predominantly male sample (90.4%) with the majority (59.2%) of participants aged 25-44 years. Selfreported height and weight measures indicated that less than 20 percent (18.9%) of participants were in a healthy BMI range, while there were effectively equal numbers of overweight (40.9%) and obese (39.1%) participants. Only 3.5% of participants met the daily recommendation for vegetables (5 serves) and shift-workers had greater association with elevated BMI compared to non-shift workers (B = 1.21, 95% CI: 0.23, 2.20, p = 0.016). Poor nutrition is likely to be a key component in elevated levels of overweight and obesity within this industry, with workplace factors compounding challenges workers face in implementing health behavior change. Future studies would benefit from assessing diet and physical activity knowledge in relation to recommendations and serving sizes.]]> Tue 03 Aug 2021 18:29:05 AEST ]]> Workplace Health Promotion Programs Targeting Smoking, Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity in Men: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54921 3 months, and pooled mean decrease in body mass index 0.06 kg/m2 up to 3 months; -0.27 kg/m2 for >3 months. Despite the encouraging direction of the relationship, results were not statistically significant (p > .05). Findings underscore the potential of workplace health promotion programs targeting certain chronic disease risk factors in men; however, future research should consider long-term study designs to assess the efficacy of workplace health programs as a solution to the growing burden of global disease.]]> Thu 21 Mar 2024 13:41:02 AEDT ]]> The effect of load on biomechanics during an overhead lift in the WorkHab Functional Capacity Evaluation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12330 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:36:50 AEDT ]]> Quantification of the safe maximal lift in functional capacity evaluations: comparison of muscle recruitment using SEMG and therapist observation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13446 Sat 24 Mar 2018 10:35:48 AEDT ]]> A self-directed fieldwork program to provide alternative occupational health placements for undergraduate occupational therapy students https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1893 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:33:22 AEDT ]]> Injured workers' perspectives of their rehabilitation process under the New South Wales Workers Compensation System https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1601 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:30:39 AEDT ]]> Occupation analysis and occupational rehabilitation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13445 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:16:32 AEDT ]]> The effect of fear of movement on the lives of people with chronic low back pain https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:10443 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:08:03 AEDT ]]> Workplace injury and nurses: insights from focus groups with Australian return-to-work coordinators https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:12196 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:07:20 AEDT ]]> Returning to driving after stroke: a systematic review of adherence to guidelines and legislation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27270 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:40:20 AEDT ]]> Exploring manual handling practices by informal carers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30133 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:12 AEDT ]]> A Scoping Review: Identifying Targeted Intervention Strategies for Workers with Occupational Hearing Loss https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54404 Fri 23 Feb 2024 08:24:49 AEDT ]]> Injured workers' perspectives of their rehabilitation process under the New South Wales Workers Compensation System https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:571 Fri 21 Mar 2014 11:16:37 AEDT ]]> Hearing threshold levels of Australian coal mine workers: a retrospective cross-sectional study of 64196 audiograms https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39731 Fri 17 Jun 2022 17:52:03 AEST ]]> Health and wellness in the Australian coal mining industry: An analysis of pre-post findings from the RESHAPE workplace health promotion program. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51707 Fri 15 Sep 2023 14:09:33 AEST ]]> Workplace wellness programs targeting weight outcomes in men: A scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49128 Fri 05 May 2023 11:53:37 AEST ]]>
