Metabolic syndrome and worksite health promotion.
Metabolic Syndrome represents a relatively new clinical condition whose individual risk parameters have been associated with a variety of additional or excess costs for working populations. This article reviews much of the current clinical findings on this condition and provides suggestions for employers. The worksite represents one of the most promising settings for early detection and follow-up interventions. The most technically promising response from those responsible for employee health management is not clear at the present time.
