dc.description.abstract | OBJECTIVE : To determine if repeat annual health risk assessments (RAHRAs) with intervention reduce 10-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in financial sector employees. METHODS : Retrospective analysis from RAHRAs in 13,737 employees over 4 years. We report changes in 10-year FRS for CVD (%) and risk factors after 1 (GR1), 2 (GR2), and 3 (GR 3) RAHRAs. RESULTS : Mean FRS increased with RAHRAs (GR1: +0.4%; GR2: +0.7%; GR3: +0.8%) (P < 0.001) and was higher for GR3 versus GR1 (P < 0.001) and GR2 (pairwise: P < 0.0355). RAHRAs were associated with increased inadequate fruit/vegetable intake (GR1: +5.4%; GR2: +9.8%; GR3: +15.8%) (all pairwise: P < 0.001) and overweight (GR1: +5.4% vs GR2: +9.8%) (P < 0.001) and only hypercholesterolemia decreased (GR1: −4.4% vs GR3: −9.6%) (P < 0.001). CONCLUSION : RAHRAs did not reduce 10-year CVD risk in financial sector employees. Role of RAHRAs in chronic disease management requires further study. | en_ZA |
