Summary

This cohort study investigates how implementation of Biological Age technology in worksite health promotion, affects health behavior in the general Danish working population.

Detailed description

This cohort study is designed on the basis of Body Age tests, executed by a private Danish health care company in the period from 2010 to 2013. The dataset comprises pre- and post Body Age tests from \>4000 individuals. They used a standardised protocol and educated staff ( physiotherapists or with a degree in sports science) to carry out the tests. Body Age tests apply biometrics, fitness level and health status data of the employee. The test results are characterized by a Body Age score, which defines the employee's biological age (in years). This design categorises as a register study why The Danish National Committee is not applied for.
