    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    The study was aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of a multidimensional worksite intervention program to reduce the severity of metabolic disorders in older workers in Taiwan.
    Detailed Description
    The investigators conducted a quasi-experiment in older workers from three worksites in southern Taiwan. Qualified subjects were assigned to the intervention or the reference group according to their availability to take part in study activities. A researcher reviewed the health record and discussed with the subject about his/her health status. Subjects in the intervention group received lifestyle interventions. The activities included motivational presentations to increase awareness of own health problems and the role of lifestyle in the etiology of non-communicable chronic diseases. Subjects were organized into small groups to have biweekly meetings to share experiences, stimulate mutual encouragement and to overcome obstacles. Anthropometric and biochemical indicators were measured at baseline and endpoint (week 24).
