    Cardiovascular disease significantly impacts the economy, costing millions in hospitalizations and disability pensions. Managing risk factors like high cholesterol through workplace programs can improve worker well-being and reduce healthcare burdens.

    Area of Science:

    • Occupational Health
    • Public Health
    • Cardiovascular Medicine

    Background:

    • Cardiovascular disease (CVD) imposes a substantial economic burden, evidenced by millions of inpatient days and significant disability pension costs.
    • Effective management of CVD risk factors is crucial for reducing coronary heart disease (CHD) incidence and mitigating non-modifiable risk impacts.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To highlight the economic impact of cardiovascular disease.
    • To emphasize the role of risk factor management in mitigating CHD.
    • To identify optimal strategies for workplace cholesterol screening programs.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of economic data related to cardiovascular disease treatment and disability.
    • Review of risk factor management strategies for coronary heart disease.

  • Evaluation of the cost-effectiveness of cholesterol screening programs in specific employee demographics.

    • Main Results:

    • Cardiovascular disease accounts for 8.3 million inpatient days annually and 25% of Canada Pension Plan disability pensions for those under 65.
    • Elevated cholesterol levels are a significant risk factor for CHD.
    • Workplace cholesterol screening programs yield the best results when targeting male and older employee groups.

    Conclusions:

    • Workplace interventions, such as cholesterol screening and education, can promote worker well-being.
    • Targeted screening programs can optimize resource allocation for managing cardiovascular risk factors.
    • Reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease through risk factor management offers significant economic benefits.
