Comparing the Impact of Workplace Lifestyle Interventions: A 7-Month Study on Cardiovascular Health, Life Satisfaction, and Quality of Life.

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the effects of a workplace multicomponent lifestyle intervention compared to active breaks and health education on cardiovascular risk factors, subjective well-being, and quality of life. A total of 266 industry workers were assigned to three groups: lifestyle, health education, or active breaks. All received lifestyle guidance. The lifestyle group participated in resistance exercise and active breaks. The active breaks group performed only active breaks, whereas the education group received lifestyle guidance without exercise. Diastolic blood pressure and sitting time decreased in all groups, with no between-group differences. Only the lifestyle group increased moderate-intensity physical activity. Life satisfaction improved significantly across groups. All interventions improved diastolic blood pressure, sitting time, and life satisfaction, whereas only the lifestyle intervention increased moderate-intensity physical activity.
