“…The health education given during HCU may have some effect in the prevention of occupational asthma and accidents (41). Moreover, health education may be even more important from the point of view that the risk factors found during HCU have predictive value of mortality for decades (20). On the other hand, while targeted HCU seem to be important, untargeted HCU in primary healthcare seem to have little or no effect on mortality or morbidity (42).…”

Being affiliated with the occupational healthcare (OHC) quality network (OQN)-a voluntary collaborative forum in Finland-can reduce the need for disability pensions among employees in the care of the OHC unit. When the OHC unit participates in common quality improvement (QI) activities (quality measurements of intervening in excess use of alcohol, quality facilitator training, and the focus of work ability measurements) it may decrease the risk of work disability pensions.

“…Predictive risk estimates have been developed for the prevention of chronic conditions (18). Once preventive activities have been implemented in OHC it can take a long time, even decades, for effects to be seen (19,20). This means that outcome measures often cannot be used, thus process performance indicators are preferred in improvement measurements (19).…”

For facilitating risk communication in clinical management, such a ratio-based measure becomes easier to understand if expressed as a loss of life expectancy. The cohort, consisting of 543,410 adults in Taiwan, was recruited between 1994 and 2008. Health risks included lifestyle, biomarkers, and chronic diseases. A total of 18,747 deaths were identified. The Chiang’s life table method was used to estimate a loss of life expectancy. We used Cox regression to calculate hazard ratios (HRs) for health risks. The increased mortality from cardio-metabolic risks such as high cholesterol (HR=1.10), hypertension (HR=1.48) or diabetes (HR=2.02) can be converted into a loss of 1.0, 4.4, and 8.9 years in life expectancy, respectively. The top 20 of the 30 risks were associated with a loss of 4 to 10 years of life expectancy, with 70% of the cohort having at least two such risk factors. Smoking, drinking, and physical inactivity each had 5-7 years loss. Individuals with diabetes or an elevated white count had a loss of 7-10 years, while prolonged sitting, the most prevalent risk factor, had a loss of 2-4 years. Those with diabetes (8.9 years) and proteinuria (9.1 years) present at the same time showed a loss of 16.2 years, a number close to the sum of each risk. Health risks, expressed as life expectancy loss, could facilitate risk communication. The paradigm shift in expressing risk intensity can help set public health priorities scientifically to promote a focus on the most important ones in primary care.

Abstract: SummaryBackground. The purpose of the study was to determine the associations between blood pressure, body mass index and smoking habits recorded at routine medical check-ups with the company medical officer, and life expectancy and cause-specific mortality through several decades.
