Canada has experienced a substantial reduction in mortality related to cardiovascular disease (CVD). There is a general consensus that more effective and widespread health promotion interventions may lead to further reductions in CVD risk factors and actual disease states. In this paper, we briefly outline the prevalence of selected risk factors for CVD in Canada, describe characteristics of the Canadian labor market and workforce, and depict what is known about health and wellness program delivery systems in Canadian workplaces. Our review indicates that there have been numerous and diverse relevant legislative and policy initiatives to create a context conducive to improve the healthfulness of Canadian workplaces. However, there is still a dearth of evidence on the effectiveness of the delivery system and the actual impact of workplace health and wellness programs in reducing CVD risk in Canada. Thus, while a promising model, more research is needed in this area.
加拿大在与心血管疾病（CVD）相关的死亡率方面经历了大幅下降。人们普遍认为，更有效和广泛的健康促进干预措施可能会进一步降低 CVD 风险因素和实际疾病状态。在本文中，我们简要概述了加拿大选定 CVD 风险因素的流行情况，描述了加拿大劳动力市场和劳动力的特点，并描述了加拿大工作场所的健康和保健计划提供系统的已知情况。我们的审查表明，已经有许多不同的相关立法和政策举措来创造一个有利于改善加拿大工作场所健康的环境。然而，关于提供系统的有效性以及工作场所健康和保健计划在降低加拿大 CVD 风险方面的实际影响的证据仍然不足。因此，虽然这是一个很有前途的模式，但在这一领域还需要更多的研究。
