To determine the prevalence of non-communicable disease (NCD) risk factors, total NCD risk category and 10-year risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in financial sector employees.
This descriptive observational cross-sectional analysis, data from 36,074 employees was analysed. NCD risk factor data was obtained from health risk assessments that included a questionnaire and clinical measures. The 10-year risk for CVD was calculated using the Framingham non-laboratory based equation.
Inadequate fruit and vegetable intake (89.3%), insufficient physical activity (77.4%), and being overweight (66.8%) were the most prevalent risk factors. Women had significantly higher prevalence ratios for central obesity (2.28; P < 0.001), insufficient physical activity (1.21; P < 0.001), hypercholesterolaemia (1.15; P < 0.001), and overweight (1.08; P < 0.001) compared with men.
A more concerted effort is required to provide employees with appropriate tools and education at the workplace to decrease and manage NCDs.
确定金融行业员工中非传染性疾病(NCD)风险因素的流行情况、非传染性疾病总体风险类别以及心血管疾病(CVD)的10年风险。
进行了这项描述性观察性横断面分析,分析了36,074名员工的数据。非传染性疾病风险因素数据来自健康风险评估,其中包括一份问卷和临床测量。使用基于弗雷明汉姆非实验室的方程计算心血管疾病的10年风险。
水果和蔬菜摄入量不足(89.3%)、身体活动不足(77.4%)和超重(66.8%)是最普遍的风险因素。与男性相比,女性在中心性肥胖(2.28;P<0.001)、身体活动不足(1.21;P<0.001)、高胆固醇血症(1.15;P<0.001)和超重(1.08;P<0.001)方面的患病率显著更高。
需要做出更协调一致的努力,在工作场所为员工提供适当的工具和教育,以减少和管理非传染性疾病。
