    An industrial counseling program effectively reduced serum triglyceride levels in male employees at risk for cardiovascular disease. Lifestyle modifications and periodic medical check-ups were key to significant triglyceride reduction.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Health
    • Occupational Medicine
    • Biochemistry

    Background:

    • Elevated serum triglyceride levels are a significant risk factor for cardiovascular disease.
    • Multiphasic screening programs can identify at-risk individuals in industrial settings.
    • Lifestyle modification is crucial for managing hypertriglyceridemia.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish an effective industrial counseling program for employees with elevated serum triglyceride levels.
    • To assess the impact of lifestyle modification counseling on serum triglyceride reduction.
    • To identify factors associated with significant triglyceride level decreases.

    Main Methods:

    • A multiphasic screening program identified male employees aged 40+ with triglyceride levels ≥ 200 mg/dL.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • A counseled group (n=109) received lifestyle modification guidance.
  • A matched control group (n=135) received no counseling.
  • Serum triglyceride levels were monitored in both groups.

    • Main Results:

    • The counseling program resulted in a significant reduction in serum triglyceride values.
    • The most significant reductions were observed in individuals with baseline levels > 250 mg/dL.
    • Employees who dieted and received periodic counseling and medical checks showed the greatest improvement.

    Conclusions:

    • Industrial counseling programs can effectively manage elevated serum triglyceride levels.
    • Targeted interventions, including diet and regular medical oversight, are most effective.
    • Reducing triglyceride levels in at-risk employees contributes to cardiovascular risk management.
