  10. PhysicalActivity and Health Branch • Vision • Active People in an Activity-Friendly World • Mission • Understand and Promote Physical Activity to Enhance Health and Quality of Life • Guiding Principles • We are a science-driven organization. • We Focus on population-based public health research and programs. • We are accountable to our public health constituents. • We conduct our work with integrity and follow ethical standards.

  11. Physical Activity- Benefits • Walking 2+ miles/day => 50% lower mortality • Exercise in 80+ y.o. women => 32% fewer falls • Strength training causes comparable reduction in Sx of depression as medication • Exercise improves smoking cessation rates • 1 case of hypertension prevented for every 26 men who walk 20+ minutes to work • 31% reduction in CVD rates if walk 35 min/day Hakim NEJM; Campbell BMJ; Fiatarone J Gerontol; Marcus Arch Int Med; Hayashi Ann Intern Med; LaCroix J Am Geriatr Soc

  12. Physical Activity - Benefits • 6 bouts per day of 2-3 minutes of stair climbing improves cholesterol and fitness in college women. • Type II diabetes can be prevented (58% reduction in risk) by 30+ minutes of activity/day and appropriate diet (fat/fiber/calories) in high-risk subjects • Walking 112+ blocks/week reduces risk of dementia by 33% in older adults. • Health care costs 4.7% lower per active day per week; 49% lower in non-smoker, BMI=25, active 3 days/week Boreham Prev Med 2000;30:277; Tuomilehto. NEJM;344:1343. Yaffe. Arch Intern Med 2001;161:1703. Pronk JAMA 1999;283:3335

  13. Preventive Effects • Long-standing consensus: • Cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, colon cancer, osteoporosis, • Substantial evidence: • depression, cholesterol & lipids, fall injuries, stroke, functional status in older adults • Emerging evidence: • gall stones, sleep, immune function, some other cancers, dementia, ‘brain health’, academic performance.

  14. Therapeutic Effects of Physical Activity Clinical practice guidelines exist for physical activity in many diseases: - high blood pressure - chronic lung disease - cholesterol management - cardiovascular disease - diabetes - osteoporosis - arthritis - obesity

  15. Leisure Time Physical Activity Trends 1986-1999All States Reporting Physical Activity each year, BRFSS S. Ham, CDC, 2000. Recommended Activity = Moderate or Vigorous Activity

  16. Percent of Employers Offering Health Benefits to Employees 2000-2005 Source: “Employer Health Benefits 2005 Survey,” (#7315), The Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation and Health Research and Education Trust, September 2005

  17. A Costly Benefit Private industry employers’ average medical costs per employee* Portion of private industry workers in a company health plan *Includes all companies and employees, both with and without health benefits Source: Bureau of Labor Statistics, Published in the new York Times

  18. Relation of Business Size and Workforce Percentage Business Size % Firms % Workforce <499 employees 99% 50% 5000+ employees .04% 32%

  20. Top Five Employer Priorities for 2005 Control Healthcare Costs Provide Rewards Programs that Attract, Motivate, and Retain Talent Address Employee Willingness to Pay a Larger Portion of Benefits Coverage Increase Employee Responsibility for Managing Their Own Rewards Budget Manage Retirement Benefits Cost Source: Deloitte Consulting (2004)

  22. Bottom Line Can’t reduce health care costs without improving the health of employees Use evidence-based recommendations to guide alignment of benefits, policies, and programs with employee health Use field studies to accelerate identification of what works Put policies in place that support employee adoption of healthy behaviors

  23. ROI: Worksite Health Promotion Citibank had a savings of $8.9 million over 2 years with a program cost of $1.9 million – for $4.70:$1 benefits:cost ratio Analysis of 28 studies showed average ROI of $3.48 per $1 in cost From 1990–1999 Johnson & Johnson generated savings of about $8.5 million/year Sources: Ozminkowski et al. AJHP Jan/Feb 1999; Goetzel et al. J Occ Hlth & Environ Med 2002; Aldana AJHP May/June 2001.

  24. Examples of Approaches: Physical Activity Health Checks / Fitness appraisals On-site exercise facilities / classes Health education – i.e. written materials with / without support Subsidized membership at off-site gyms / facilities Web based advise and support Stair use / Active travel

  25. Public sector Government offices Police Fire service Utilities – gas / electric Private Sector – (larger) Pharmaceutical Food companies Retail companies Legal firms Banks Universities Hospitals Blue collar and White collar Types of Workplaces Often Involved Less often Retail and service industry Manufacturing industry Skilled / semi skilled Voluntary sector Small/medium size enterprises

  26. CDC Projects Related to Worksites Community Guide Recs Translate Findings Focus groups Promising Practices Develop Toolkits Disseminate Implement Evaluate Develop Cost Calculator Evaluate

  27. Worksites with Promising Practices

  28. Preliminary SWAT Findings - What Works 1. Focus on multiple levels, including individual behavior, environmental factors and organizational policy 2. CEO’s commitment - “culture of wellness” 3. Often motivation is “the right thing to do” 4. Implement population-based interventions - tailor delivery to employee needs 5. High participation rates 6. Systematically evaluate

  31. Promising Practices • Environmental and Policy strategies • Informational and educational strategies • Behavioral strategies

  32. Environmental and Policy • Address the entire workforce/population and target physical and organizational structures through worksite and public policies that support healthy behaviors. They are likely to be sustained longer than individually oriented strategies

  33. Environment: Enhanced access • Example: Male employees in a university maintenance shop in a 16 week exercise intervention – fitness trail/ par course. 19 strength and aerobic activities on 1.5 mile course. 90 minute classes offered free 2 X week. Public charts displayed exercise done at and outside work. • Median effect size for 5 studies -3.4%

  34. Informational and Educational • Exercise prescriptions • Specific recommendations for frequency, type and intensity of exercise. • Median effect size for 14 studies was -4.8lbs • Multi-component educational practices • Prescription plus brochures, pamphlets, electronic messages (email, text message) • Median effect size -4.8 lbs

  35. Behavioral • Teaching behavioral management skills, structuring social environment to provide social support, individual/ group behavioral counseling- family friends. • Modeling, participatory skill development feedback, incentives, disincentives, pedometers, journals.

  36. Behavioral- competitions and incentives • Competitions and incentives alone • Teams compete for total miles walked or weight lost. • Median effect size for 12 studies, -6.5lbs

  37. Behavioral • Behavioral practices with incentives • Includes modeling, skill building, feedback social support and incentives/ disincentives. • 10 lunch hour sessions on behavioral change, goal setting nutrition ed, self monitoring, self control cognitive restructuring, contingency management, physical exercise, social support. Tailored feedback on progress. • Monetary prizes awarded at end of treatment. • Median effect for 15 studies -5.1lbs

  38. Behavioral Practices • Behavioral practices without incentives • Example • Building maintenance company during work hours, employees given lectures, practical training, individual counseling, group discussion, self-education session. Individual goals set and with follow up and feedback from supervisor, spouse and family. • Median effect for 36 studies -5.8lbs

  39. Promising Practices • Enhanced access to PA opportunities + health education • Exercise prescriptions alone • Use of multi-component educational practices • Use of (weight loss) competitions and incentives • Use of behavioral practices and incentives • Use of behavioral practices without incentives

  40. CDC Healthy Worksite

  41. CDC-wide Assets & Needs Assessment • Policies • Health promotion • Exercise (1/2 hour approved absence) • Lifestyle centers • Allow leave for preventive screenings • Food/cafeteria choices • Modify GSA contracts • Vending Choices • Tobacco-free worksite

  42. CDC-wide Assets & Needs Assessment • Physical environment • Facilities audit • CDC walkability audit (e.g., Rhodes-Columbia) • Fresh produce vendor • Healthy building standards • Chamblee trail • Lactation rooms • Stairwell projects
