Overweight and obesity are the most frequent problems in the working population.
Objective:
Determine the influence of overweight and obesity with absenteeism due to common illnesses.

The variables that show a statistically significant influence (p <0.05) with work absenteeism are gender, job, having a pathological personal history, anemia, musculoskeletal alteration, alteration in the urine test, hearing loss and nutritional diagnosis.
