Logit Model To Predict Outcomes Of Litigated Employee Obesity Cases, Helen Lavan

Helen LaVan

Obese employees have questionable legal status, in that there are no real direct legal protections under existing law. A random sample of 80 litigated obesity cases was analyzed in the present study. The frequencies, chi square analysis, and logistics regression model suggest case characteristics in which the employer prevails. Future directions are discussed, including the changing definition of disability under Americans With Disabilities Act, exceptions in court rulings, changing the issue of voluntarism and mutability as irrelevant under the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission guidelines and the recognition of metabolic syndrome as a disability.
