Summary

As an important way to translate cardiovascular disease prevention efforts, worksite interventions can facilitate healthy food choices, health education, and social support. This proposed project is adapted and scaled-up from the Nepal study, and will measure the effectiveness of a canteen and a behavioral intervention on cardio-metabolic risk at a worksite in South Africa. This study will estimate the added benefit of a proven individual-level dietary intervention over environmental-level changes for preventing cardio-metabolic risk within the South African context. If the study demonstrates a significant effect, a scaled-up approach could produce an important reduction in cardiovascular disease burden through environmental and individual level prevention programs in South Africa.
