Abstract
In a cohort of 4,253 nurses, specific job positions and characteristics were associated with higher risks of overweight and obesity.

- Obesity was more prevalent among junior staff, administrative directors, older nurses, and males.
- The incidence of overweight and obesity increased significantly during the first 2 years of a nursing career.
- Job position, seniority, and age may influence weight status among nurses.
- There is a need for workplace health promotion policies targeting these high-risk groups.
