Biological Age in Worksite Health Promotion

Study Overview
=================
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

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Biological Age | An algorithm calculates Biological Age, using physiological parameters and biomarkers measured during the test. | The Biological Age is calculated at baseline and at one year follow up | 

Secondary Outcome Measures

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