This study assessed the effectiveness of a 12-week pilot employee wellness program in reducing risk factors for coronary heart disease. Fifty university employees with at least one cardiovascular disease risk factor participated in the program. Interventions focused on diet, exercise, and monthly workshops. Pre- and post-intervention measurements included weight, body composition, blood pressure, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio, triglycerides, and blood sugar. Twenty-five employees had post-intervention measurements. A survey was administered to assess adherence. The correlation between adherence and improvement in cardiovascular disease risk factors was also tested. Significant differences were observed between pre- and post-intervention measurements of total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, total cholesterol/HDL cholesterol ratio, triglycerides, and weight. A significant correlation existed between self-reported level of participation in the diet aspect of the program and improvement in LDL levels. This multi-component, 12-week pilot employee wellness program was effective in reducing cardiovascular disease risk.
本研究评估了一项为期12周的试点员工健康计划在降低冠心病风险因素方面的有效性。五十名患有至少一种心血管疾病风险因素的大学员工参与了该计划。干预措施集中在饮食、运动和每月的工作坊。干预前后的测量指标包括体重、身体成分、血压、总胆固醇、低密度脂蛋白（LDL）胆固醇、高密度脂蛋白（HDL）胆固醇、总胆固醇/HDL胆固醇比率、甘油三酯和血糖。二十五名员工进行了干预后的测量。进行了一项调查以评估依从性。还测试了依从性与心血管疾病风险因素改善之间的相关性。在总胆固醇、LDL胆固醇、总胆固醇/HDL胆固醇比率、甘油三酯和体重的干预前后测量之间观察到显著差异。在自我报告的参与该计划饮食方面的程度与LDL水平的改善之间存在显著相关性。这项为期12周的多成分试点员工健康计划在降低心血管疾病风险方面是有效的。
