Worksite education and coaching improves LDL, total cholesterol, and lifestyle choices in hyperlipidemic employees.
Why the study?
The impact of education and coaching interventions at the worksite on lifestyle choices and lipid values among employees with hyperlipemia was evaluated.

Worksite coaching may improve lipids; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
A 7-month intervention was undertaken to determine the impact of education and coaching on lifestyle choices and lipid values among employees with hyperlipemia. 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.
