Rafia Rahman
University of Dhaka, Bangladesh
This study was designed to determine the impact of working lunch on em-
ployees health in terms of BMI and identify the employees were at risk
to develop different disease, with the vision to assist employer and/or au-
thority to take necessary intervention for improvement of health status and
reduce risk to develop disease among the employees. It was a cross sectional
mixed method study. The study period was from October’10 to October’11
and the intervention was given in a factory with name ‘Stich Right Limited
(SRL)’which was been selected purposively. All the workers (total of 742) of
that factory received the intervention were surveyed. Body Mass Index (BMI)
of each worker was calculated both in the base line (October’10) and end line
(October’11). The study revealed that during baseline 13.6 percent workers
had under-nutrition (according to WHO which classified as workers with BMI
less than 18.5) as compared to that of 8.6 percent at the end year. Hence,
under-nutrition statuses of the workers were corrected by 4.9 percent. Stan-
dard nutritional status (BMI is 18 to 25) improved by 1.5percent. Percent of
workers with ‘overweight’ (BMI is26 to 30) and ‘obese’ (BMI greater than 30)
status also proportionately increase by 3.2 and 0.3 percentage point respec-
tively thought he increases were not statistically significant. Further, it was
found that, among male employees under nutrition correct by 2.66percent
and among female employees under nutrition correct by 6.26. Successful and
effective implementation of any intervention through service center (work
place) is possible. Employee’s positive health, well-being could ensure in work
place by the intervention of employer that actually takes a role for increase
the productivity of work and employees were able to lead a socially and eco-
nomically productive life.
