Detailed description

Currently, lifestyle habits of workers does not only represents a personal concern, but also a concern of the company. Currently there are very few studies that efficiently integrate classical interventions (screening) and online tools in order to obtain sustainable lifestyle changes in workers. The current project aims to evaluate efficacy of a combined approach versus more traditional approaches. Health Data collected by CAPSANA in the workplace between 2012 and 2014 showed that, out of 4231 workers, 69% should aim at a more active lifestyle and 74% at a better nutritional profile. In addition, 53% of the sampled population were overweight. In this context, the current project aims to motivate and follow individuals towards a healthier lifestyle. To do so, the Activate Your Health will be implemented and tested using various options (limited to more complete) in several companies. It is planned to compare to a control group receiving no intervention to the other groups containing little to complete set of interventions. The content of the interventions involves health assessment, electronic tools (SOScuisine and social media platform), health screening, activity monitor tool and closing events. The companies had to pick which option they would like to provide their employees. It is anticipated that the complete option will yield better results for the activity profile and other lifestyle habits. For example, changes in eating habits toward better habits are expected.
