About this Research Topic
The current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology on cardiovascular (CV) disease prevention highlighted the importance of implementing a coordinated set of actions. This included the worksite, with a long-term goal aimed at eliminating or minimizing the impact of CV disease and related disabilities.
Workplace wellness programs tend to focus on modifiable risk factors of non-communicable disease, such as nutrition, physical activity, and smoking cessation. However, nowadays, corporate wellness programs are still rare and incomplete, and usually receive limited attention. This represents a big public health issue since company health and wellness interventions may provide an important opportunity to identify and manage CV risk. Given the increasing of employees' average age, a progressive shifting of retirement age, and an increased number of chronic diseases, these preventive programs will increasingly represent key factors of both employee's health and economic strategies of companies in the near future.
This Research Topic will highlight the ideal features of a cardiovascular prevention program in the worksite population: how should a corporate wellness program be made? What are the key components to obtain the reduction of cardiovascular risk factors in this population?
All manuscript types will be accepted, however, the Topic Editors encourage the submission of observational studies clinical trials, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews.
