This link to Duke will put you in touch with a write-up on their obesity and workers' comp study, as well as other links to obesity-related resources. For the abstract of the actual obesity study, visit the Web site for the Archives of Internal Medicine. Also check out the big brains of the researchers at the Johns Hopkins Center for Injury Research and Policy, who put together the study linking obesity to workplace injury rates.
