Abstract

The study examined a relationship between organizational factors and the health outcomes (health behaviors and blood pressure control) at a company level. This cross-sectional study using data from listed corporations on a stock exchange with 1000 to 30,000 employees that completed the health and productivity management survey of Japan in 2019. We analyzed 886 companies. The presence of occupational health staff was associated with good health behaviors (no smoking and healthy body mass index) and good control of blood pressure. Implementation of education for manager was associated with low smoking rates. The implementation of organizational factors by corporations may improve the lifestyle behaviors and disease management of their employees.
