摘要
A 7-month intervention was undertaken to determine the impact of education and coaching on lifestyle choices and lipid values among employees with hyperlipidemia. Four classes over 2 months at the worksite during work time and two telephone interventions were provided with pre, mid, and post data collection. Total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein values improved during the intervention. Positive lifestyle changes were made involving exercise and diet. Appropriate physician visits and continuous health care increased. Lipid-based interventions at the worksite can elicit positive changes in lifestyle, appropriate health care use, and improved lipid values.
