Resumen
GOMEZ PAREDES, Laura et al. Evaluation of the effectiveness of a non-pharmacologic intervention based on worksite nutrition and physical activity for controlling employee overweight and obesity. Rev Asoc Esp Espec Med Trab [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.1, pp.9-16. Epub 28-Dic-2020. ISSN 3020-1160.
Aim:
to evaluate the effectiveness of an intervention based on worksite nutrition and physical activity for controlling employee overweight and obesity.
Material and Methods:
558 employees completed the initial evaluation, collecting anthropometric and analytical data. A multidisciplinary team (nutritionist, personal trainer, doctor and nurse) planned a diet and individualized exercise plan that were re-evaluated at each follow-up visit for 6 months.
Results:
209 employees completed the trial. A weight loss rate of 9.94 ± 4.67% (95% CI 9.22-10.55) and a decrease in body mass index of 3.2 points (95% CI 3.01-3 , 44) with p <0.001. 85.65% of participants achieved a weight loss ≥ 5%.
Conclusion:
the intervention was effective in reducing employee weight and body mass index when he/she was committed. It would be desirable to increase motivation of the participant to achieve the goal.
