Journal ArticleDOI

Eija Nurminen,Antti Malmivaara,Juhani Ilmarinen,Pekka Ylöstalo,Pertti Mutanen,Guy Ahonen,Timo Aro +6 more
TL;DR: Physical activity once a week at worksites improves the perceived work ability of women with physically demanding work only slightly and work ability promotion may need a more multiprofessional approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Self‐reported health problems and sickness absence in different age groups predominantly engaged in physical work
TL;DR: Young subjects had surprisingly high probability for sickness absence although they reported better health than their older colleagues, and a higher total count of absence days was found among subjects reporting health problems and poorer working ability, regardless of age, sex and occupational grade.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effectiveness of two occupational health intervention programmes in reducing sickness absence among employees at risk. Two randomised controlled trials.
TL;DR: The occupational health intervention was effective in controlling work loss to a degree that is likely to be economically advantageous within the high risk group, and the identification of high risk of work disability was successful.
Journal ArticleDOI
An occupational health intervention programme for workers at high risk for sickness absence. Cost effectiveness analysis based on a randomised controlled trial.
Simo Taimela,Selina Justen,Pasi Aronen,Harri Sintonen,Esa Läärä,Antti Malmivaara,Jaakko Tiekso,Timo Aro +7 more
TL;DR: One year follow-up data show that occupational health intervention for workers with high risk of sickness absence is a cost effective use of healthcare resources.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effectiveness of physical activity monitoring and distance counseling in an occupational setting - Results from a randomized controlled trial (CoAct)
Karita Reijonsaari,Aki Vehtari,Olli-Pekka Kahilakoski,Willem van Mechelen,Timo Aro,Simo Taimela +5 more
TL;DR: The intervention was not found effective, and this study does not provide support for the effectiveness of the workplace PA intervention used here.
