Background: Regular physical activity is a corner stone for healthy living, and preventing the onset or progression of diseases. The Social Insurance Fund for Public Service, Railway and Mining Industries is building an intramural health promotion facility in Austria with the aim to provide a comprehensive evidence-based health promotion programme for their insured. The target group are all people who, regardless of their health status and the presence of diseases, are ready to make their lifestyle more health-oriented. The health promotion facility offers health promotion measures in five areas: promoting physical training, optimizing nutritional patterns, managing everyday stress, increasing social capital, and improving health literacy. The focus is on increasing resources and on overcoming barriers. Depending on age, previous illnesses, range of motion, stress level, body weight and personal aims and expectations, the measures are individually tailored. The stay is divided into a two-week initial stay and a follow-up week. A comprehensive scientific evaluation concept of all measures and the entire stay is an integral part of the design. Conclusion: This project combines the advantages of comprehensive active health promotion, and an intramural stay. It is a pioneering social insurance project for sustainable health promotion and integrated care.

Background : Biohazard incidents are ordinary situations usually managed by health systems with the mandatory priority of preventing the spread of the pathogen. Health care workers in charge of dealing with these situations must be equipped with personal protective equipment (PPE) for her/his own security. The main objective of this study was developing a risk model to predict whether health care workers will tolerate wearing PPE, III category, 4B / 5B / 6B type, against biological risks during a 30 minutes intervention. Methods : A preliminary, prospective, simulation study, without intervention was conducted at the Advanced Simulation Center at the Medicine Faculty of Valladolid University (Spain) from April 3rd to 28th, 2017. Students and professional's health care were equipped with a PPE and performed a 30 minutes-long biohazard simulation. Anthropometric, physiological, analytical variables, and anxiety levels were measured pre- and post-simulation. A scoring model was constructed by using the estimate regression coefficients of the significant variables obtained from a multivariate model of the logistic regression for the outcome variable. Results : 96 volunteers with median age of 26 years (25th-75th percentile: 22-41 years) of which 56 (58.3%) were women enter into the test. Half of the sample presented metabolic fatigue after 20 minutes of finishing the simulation. The predictive model included female sex, height, both muscle and bone mass and moderate level of physical activity. The validity of the main model using all the variables presented an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.86 (95%CI: 0.786-0.935), and the validity of the model presented an AUC of 0.725 (95%CI: 0.559-0.89). Conclusions : Decision-making in biohazard incidents is a challenge for emergency team leaders. An a priori knowledge of physiological tolerance of wearing a PPE of the health care workers could improve their performance. The model presented here could help in the assessment of the worker response under biohazard conditions.

ZusammenfassungDem Dreischritt „Status quo – Konsequenzen – Maßnahmen“ folgend werden Daten zum Ausmaß körperlicher Aktivität und deren Einflussfaktoren, mögliche gesellschaftliche Kosten mangelnder körperlicher Aktivität sowie Einflussebenen und Maßnahmen zur Bewegungsförderung in Österreich präsentiert. In Österreich ist der Anteil an Personen, die die Bewegungsempfehlungen nicht erfüllen, hoch und es besteht diesbezüglich klar Verbesserungspotenzial, insbesondere in Bezug auf muskelkräftigende Aktivitäten bei Erwachsenen. Je nach Datenquelle erfüllen von den Erwachsenen 42–50% die Empfehlungen für ausdauerorientierte Bewegung und 18–33% die für muskelkräftigende Aktivitäten. Gleichzeitig ist die österreichische Bevölkerung im internationalen Vergleich aktiver als jene vieler anderer Länder. Große Unterschiede bestehen im Bewegungsverhalten hinsichtlich demografischer, sozioökonomischer und geografischer Determinanten. Die gesellschaftlichen Folgen durch mangelnde körperliche Aktivität sind beträchtlich, sowohl hinsichtlich verlorener Lebensjahre durch vorzeitigen Tod, als auch den Kosten, die der Allgemeinheit entstehen, beispielsweise an Gesundheitskosten und Produktivitätsverlusten. Die für das Jahr 2017 hochgerechnete Summe von 248 Mio. Euro stellt aufgrund methodischer Schwierigkeiten wahrscheinlich eine Unterschätzung dar. Wissenschaftlich abgesicherte Einflussebenen auf das Bewegungsverhalten umfassen im Sinne der lebens(um)weltortientierten Herangehensweise die Lebenswelten Kindergarten und Schule, Betriebe, Gemeinde/Städte, Pflegewohnheime und die Natur.
