Background: In Japan, specific health guidance is a program based on health checkups to prevent metabolic syndrome. However, dropout from the program is an issue and reduces opportunities to improve cardiovascular risk. Lack of awareness of health checkup results is thought to be associated with dropout, but the association remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of awareness of health checkup results with related attitude on dropout from specific health guidance among teachers.
