The Stat that 75% of sick days are taken by 30+ BMI boys/girls is, from personal obsevation, total horlicks!
The vast majority of sickies who I know are without exception super active fitties who have blown out their backs by kite surfing or dislocated shoulders out dirt biking or blowing out knees running or water skiing. injuries that take flipping weeks to mend.
The other little stinger is the 4% national group who make up 25% of the sickie roster going upto 80% of weekend sickie roster
Bet you can't guess who!
Lies, Damn Lies and Statistics!
