Economic growth, an aging population, and changes in lifestyle patterns have contributed to the rise in cardiovascular disease (CVD) in Brazil. Worksite health and wellness programs are viewed as a potentially viable means to address the increase in disease burden in Brazil. The purpose of the present review is to investigate actions proposed by the Brazilian Government for CVD prevention and the current state of worksite health promotion. Our review of literature found that the Brazilian Government has been showing a growing interest in developing and promoting CVD preventive strategies, primarily through better control of known risk factors (i.e. smoking, obesity, physical inactivity, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and high blood glucose). Current initiatives are considered positive steps toward better CVD prevention in Brazil. With respect to worksite health and wellness, additional work is needed to determine optimal program delivery models, financial implications and individual/population compliance with healthier lifestyle choices.
经济增长、人口老龄化和生活方式的改变导致巴西心血管疾病（CVD）的发病率上升。工作场所健康和保健计划被视为解决巴西疾病负担增加的一种潜在可行手段。本综述的目的是调查巴西政府提出的预防 CVD 的行动以及工作场所健康促进的现状。我们对文献的回顾发现，巴西政府对制定和推广 CVD 预防策略越来越感兴趣，主要是通过更好地控制已知的风险因素（即吸烟、肥胖、身体活动不足、高胆固醇、高血压和高血糖）。目前的举措被认为是巴西更好地预防 CVD 的积极步骤。关于工作场所健康和保健，需要进一步研究以确定最佳的方案提供模式、财务影响以及个人/人群对更健康生活方式选择的遵守情况。
