Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Perceived Stress	at six months	Perceived stress scale-PSS. PSS scores are obtained by inverting the responses (e.g. 0 = 4, 1 = 3, 2 = 2, 3 = 1 and 4 = 0) to the four positive items (items 4, 5, 7 and 8) and then adding up all the points on the scale.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
work absenteeism	at six months	work absenteeism
lipid profile	at six months	Colesterol, HDL, LDL, triglycerides
Short Form Survey_Mental health	at six months	Mental component of the SF12 questionnaire. For each of the 8 dimensions, the items are coded, aggregated and transformed into a scale ranging from 0 (worst health status for that dimension) to 100 (best health status).

Short Form Survey_Physical condition	at six months	Physical component of the SF12 questionnaire.

The number of response options ranges from three to six, depending on the item.
Body mass index	at six months	Body mass index
Goldberg anxiety questionnaire	at six months	Goldberg anxiety questionnaire. This questionnaire has a total of 9 items. A score greater than or equal to 4 is indicative of anxiety.
Ruffier index	at six months	The Ruffier test is a test performed to measure short-term aerobic endurance and cardiac recovery capacity, and therefore the level of physical fitness in individuals. An index below 0 indicates a good physical condition. Its average value is between 5 and 10. Above 10 the patient is considered to have a poor adaptation to exertion.
