Biological Age in Worksite Health Promotion

Completed

• Conditions: Biomedical Technology; Health Behavior

• Registration Number: NCT03529357
• Lead Sponsor: University of Copenhagen

Brief Summary

This cohort study investigates how implementation of Biological Age technology in worksite health promotion, affects health behavior in the general Danish working population.

Detailed Description

This cohort study is designed on the basis of Body Age tests, executed by a private Danish health care company in the period from 2010 to 2013.

The dataset comprises pre- and post Body Age tests from \>4000 individuals. They used a standardised protocol and educated staff ( physiotherapists or with a degree in sports science) to carry out the tests. Body Age tests apply biometrics, fitness level and health status data of the employee. The test results are characterized by a Body Age score, which defines the employee's biological age (in years).

This design categorises as a register study why The Danish National Committee is not applied for.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Biological Age	The Biological Age is calculated at baseline and at one year follow up	An algorithm calculates Biological Age, using physiological parameters and biomarkers measured during the test.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
HDL	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	High Density Lipoprotein
BMI	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	BodyMassIndex is a major risk factor for developing lifestyle related diseases.
Bodyweight	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	The weight in kilograms of each individual
FM	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	Fat Mass is important to look at isolated in reference to whole bodyweight
FFM	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	Fat Free Mass is important to look at isolated in reference to Whole bodyweight
BP	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	Bloodpressure as a result from systolic and diastolic bloodpressure
VO2max	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	Maximal Oxygen consumption
BG	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	Blood Glucose
LDL	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up	Low Density Lipoprotein
