Employees’ health condition is very important; it affects not only their well-being but also the firms and society through increased medical costs and productivity losses. The dataset contained both medical checkups and working record information obtained from 1,136 employees was used in the study. Long-term absenteeism was analyzed by the logistic regression models. The results suggested that high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and blood sugar levels were important factors to reduce long-term absenteeism. These factors could be improved by modifying eating habits. Since the corporation has its own company cafeteria, nutritional interventions could be performed at very little cost. Analyses of different types of jobs and working conditions are necessary.
