Abstract

Objectives : This study explores the effects of a tailored health promotion program, in order to reduce cardiovascular risk, in areas which include hypertension, dyslipidemia, abnormal blood glucose and body mass index. Methods : In this paper, health risk appraisal relating to lifestyle was surveyed and physical fitness, blood pressure and blood lipid profile and glucose were checked. Then, a 12 week tailored health promotion program with 40 subway workers of Seoul was conducted. The Tailored health promotion program included a smoking cessation program, drinking restriction, diet, exercise prescription and a stress management program. Results : The number of subjects engaging in regular exercise increased from 42.5% to 100%, and the number of smokers reduced from 72.5% to 60%, and 12.5% of contemplate stage was shift to action stage. The mean level of drinking per day, significantly decreased from 34.9 g to 24.2. The body mass index, systolic blood pressure, total cholesterol, triglyceride, and Fasting blood glucose significantly decreased after the intervention program. In addition the tailored health promotion program resulted in a significant reduction in two factors for the cardiovascular high risk group, hypertension above 140 mmHg in systolic blood pressure and dyslipidemia above 200 mg/dl in triglyceride. Conclusion : In this paper, it is demonstrated that the tailored health promotion program, including the smoking cessation program, drinking restriction, diet, exercise prescription and stress management program, resulted in effective reduction in cardiovascular risk factor. Therefore associated workplace tailored health promotion programs relating to specific individual risk factor, should be developed and implemented.
