Abstract

Purpose: This study was to investigate the effects of U-Health program on metabolic syndrome of workers. Methods: This study was conducted with a pretest-posttest control group study for 6 month from May to October 2010. Subjects in the experimental group participated in the U-Health program (n=315), whereas the control group did not (n=157). Results: In the U-Health group, statistically significant reductions in BMI(body mass index), waist circumference, cholesterol, and triglyceride were observed. The results of this study showed that 6 months of U-Health program influenced on the metabolic syndrome of workers in a positive way. Conclusion: It is, therefore, suggested to actively utilize the U-Health program to manage the workers' health.
