Associations between Health Interest Scale Dimensions and Obesity Risk: A Cross-sectional Study among Japanese Employees

This study identified significant associations between the three HIS dimensions and obesity risk, which remained robust after adjusting for obesity-related diseases. Stronger associations were observed across all HIS dimensions in participants with obesity-related diseases. These findings underscore the importance of tailored interventions targeting HIS dimensions, particularly health consciousness and health value, to reduce obesity risk in sedentary, working-age populations.
