The "Healthy Heart, Healthy Life" Project: A CSR-Supported Study on the Effectiveness of Workplace Health Screenings and Educational Workshops in Reducing Cardiovascular Risk Factors

Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with a significant portion of cases being preventable through early detection and lifestyle modifications. While public health campaigns have been instrumental, the workplace represents a crucial and often overlooked environment for health intervention. Many employees spend a considerable portion of their day at work, and factors such as stress, sedentary behavior, and poor dietary habits can contribute to an increased risk of heart-related issues. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives that target employee wellness can therefore play a vital role in mitigating these risks.

This study, titled "The 'Healthy Heart, Healthy Life' Project," is a CSR-supported initiative designed to investigate the effectiveness of workplace health screenings and educational workshops. The primary objective is to evaluate whether providing accessible screenings (e.g., blood pressure, cholesterol, BMI) and organizing educational workshops can significantly reduce key cardiovascular risk factors among employees. By focusing on a corporate setting, this research aims to provide concrete evidence on the value of employer-led health programs. The findings will not only benefit the participating employees but will also serve as a model for other organizations seeking to invest in the long-term health and productivity of their workforce.
