摘要: Health care workers comprise a high-risk workgroup with respect to deterioration and early retirement. There is high prevalence of obesity many the are overweight. Together, these factors play significant role in health-related problems within this sector. The present study evaluates effects first 3-months cluster randomized controlled lifestyle intervention among health workers. addresses body weight, general variables, physical capacity musculoskeletal pain. 98 female, overweight were cluster-randomized an group or reference group. consisted individually dietary plan energy deficit 1200 kcal/day (15 min/hour), strengthening exercises min/hour) cognitive behavioral training (30 during working hours 1 hour/week. Leisure time aerobic fitness was planned for 2 offered monthly oral presentations. Body BMI, fat percentage (bioimpedance), waist circumference, blood pressure, pain, maximal oxygen uptake (maximal bicycle test), isometric muscle strength 3 regions measured before after period. In intention-to-treat analysis from pre post tests, significantly reduced weight 3.6 kg (p < 0.001), BMI 30.5 29.2 40.9 39.3 circumference 99.7 95.5 cm 0.001) pressure 134/85 127/80 mmHg difference between control on all measures. No effect found strength, but fitness. fat, as well increased show great potential workplace promotion workgroup. Long-term remain be investigated. ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01015716
