“…Relatively few previous worksite intervention studies included an assessment of cardiovascular disease risk factors over a long period of time (Aldana et al, 2005;Engbers et al, 2007;Gemson et al, 2008;Glasgow et al, 1995Glasgow et al, , 1997Naito et al, 2008;Nilsson et al, 2001;Shimizu et al, 2004), even fewer were conducted in the United States (Aldana et al, 2005;Gemson et al, 2008;Glasgow et al, 1995Glasgow et al, , 1997, and the results were sometimes negative (Glasgow et al, 1995(Glasgow et al, , 1997, despite careful study designs and large sample sizes. One important difference between studies that may help to explain the discrepant findings is that the larger Take Heart trials (Glasgow et al, 1995(Glasgow et al, , 1997 involved numerous worksites, with high variability between worksites in terms of response to the interventions, and their analysis was at the level of the worksite rather than the individual.…”

“…Several worksite programs included an evaluation of cardiovascular disease risk factors, some of which lasted more than 6 months (Engbers et al, 2007;Gemson et al, 2008;Glasgow et al, 1995Glasgow et al, , 1997Naito et al, 2008), but the results were variable. In the present study, we implemented a novel, 1-year worksite intervention called "Worksite Opportunities for Wellness" (WOW) among medical center employees and compared it to an assessment only condition that included personalized health reports.…”

Objective-To evaluate the effectiveness of a worksite health promotion program on improving cardiovascular disease risk factors. overweight/obese) participated in a cohort-randomized trial comparing assessments + intervention (worksite A) with assessments only (worksite B) for 1 year. All participants received personal health reports containing their assessment results. The intervention was designed to promote physical activity and favorable dietary patterns using pedometers, healthy snack cart, WeightWatchers® meetings, group exercise classes, seminars, team competitions, and participation rewards. Outcomes included BMI, body composition, blood pressure, fitness, lipids, and Framingham 10-year coronary heart disease risk. Methods-InResults-123 participants, aged 45 ± 9 yr, with BMI 32.9 ± 8.8 kg/m 2 completed 1 year. Improvements (P ≤ 0.05) were observed at both worksites for fitness, blood pressure, and total-, HDL-, and LDL-cholesterol. Additional improvements occurred at worksite A in BMI, fat mass, Framingham risk score, and prevalence of the metabolic syndrome; only the changes in BMI and fat mass were different between worksites.Conclusion-A multi-faceted worksite intervention promoted favorable changes in cardiovascular disease risk factors, but many of the improvements were achieved with worksite health assessments and personalized health reports in the absence of an intervention.

Major cardiovascular risk factors in China, such as hyperlipidemia, hypertension, dietary factors, exposure to tobacco, diabetes, obesity and physical inactivity, have contributed to deteriorating trends in cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths. In past years, a number of CVD prevention programs have been initiated in European and American countries and successfully brought down CVD related death rate by involving various parties such as physicians, patients, government agencies and payers. However, there is rare published literature that systemically reviewed such experience, which would be highly valuable for China and other countries with high CVD burden. In this article, we review the published literature on CVD prevention and control programs and report on interviews of local and foreign experts to provide recommendations for China-specific CVD prevention and control programs. In order to provide practical suggestions, we describe the type of programs as patient, physician, pharmacist, nurse, or payer-focused. Based on this evidence and identified challenges in China, programs focusing on disease management, treatment adherence, physician/health care provider education, financial incentives, and integrated healthcare are recommended for the prevention and control of CVD in China.

Marital status is related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors in Western countries. However, few studies have addressed the relationship between marital status and CVD risk factors in other populations. We investigated lifestyle and CVD risk factors relative to marital status among middle-aged Japanese men. We analyzed baseline data of 40-59-yr-old male workers who participated in the high-risk and population strategy for occupational health promotion (HIPOP-OHP) study. We compared lifestyle and CVD risk factors between men who were married (Group M; n=1,419, mean age 47.9 ± 5.1 yr) and those who had never married (Group N; n=163, mean age 46.7 ± 4.3 yr). Men in Group N were more likely to skip breakfast, work more shifts and exercise less. Current smoking rates, as well as average values of diastolic blood pressure (DBP), serum total cholesterol and fasting plasma glucose were also higher in Group N than in Group M. The proportion of participants with three or more CVD risk factors, namely smoking, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia and hyperglycemia was higher in Group N, than in Group M (12.9% vs. 5.0%, p<0.01). The difference between Groups M and N was more evident in the subgroup of living with others, than in the subgroup of living alone. Since men who have never married might be at higher risk for CVD, effort should be made to educate this population about decreasing lifestyle-related risk factors. (J Occup Health 2008; 50: 348-356)
