title: A model for cholesterol reduction in a corporate research setting.
abstract: Cardiovascular risk reduction programs at the worksite may be effective in reducing the incidence of coronary heart disease due to elevated blood cholesterol levels in the employee population. Employers have a vested interest to provide a work environment conductive to lowering an individual's risk of coronary heart disease. CHD translates into a multitude of costs for both employers and employees. The worksite can provide an excellent opportunity for a corporation to improve and maintain the health of human resources, their most valuable asset. Occupational health nurses are in a key position to identify employees at risk, provide education, make appropriate referrals, and facilitate long term lifestyle changes through tracking and follow up.
