To assess the prevalence of risk factors and risk for cardiovascular disease and Type 2 diabetes in employees with sedentary occupations enrolled in a workplace health-promotion program.
Participants (n = 762) were recruited from ten Melbourne workplaces, participating in a physical activity program. Demographic, behavioral, biomedical, and physical measurements were collected.
The majority of employees were not meeting recommended guidelines for physical activity (62%), fruit intake (70%), vegetable intake (86%), body mass index (58%), or waist circumference (53%). Most had intermediate (53%) or high (7%) risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
The majority of Australian adults in sedentary occupations were not meeting guidelines for a number of chronic disease risk factors and a substantial proportion were unaware of their increased risk. This study supports the potential of chronic disease risk factor detection and intervention programs in the workplace.
评估参与工作场所健康促进计划的久坐职业员工心血管疾病和 2 型糖尿病的危险因素和风险。
参与者(n=762)从墨尔本的十个工作场所招募,参与了一项体育活动计划。收集了人口统计学、行为、生物医学和身体测量数据。
大多数员工不符合体力活动(62%)、水果摄入(70%)、蔬菜摄入(86%)、体重指数(58%)或腰围(53%)的推荐指南。大多数人有中等(53%)或高(7%)的 2 型糖尿病发病风险。
大多数从事久坐职业的澳大利亚成年人不符合多项慢性病危险因素的指南,而且相当一部分人不知道自己的风险增加。这项研究支持在工作场所进行慢性病危险因素检测和干预计划的潜力。
