“…The recent COVID-19 pandemic has shown how important the relationship between OPs and GPs is in disseminating and sustaining good practices. It has been observed that when public health shocks occur, policymakers can encourage pertinent learning processes by supporting knowledge and education to raise people’s understanding of preventive health practices [ 78 ]. A change in living behavior may have resulted from the lockdown, during which residents were advised to spend as little time outside their homes as possible and work from home.…”

In 2011, NIOSH launched the Total Worker Health (TWH) strategy based on integrating prevention and health promotion in the workplace. For several years now, in Italy, this integration has led to the creation of workplace health promotion embedded in medical surveillance (WHPEMS). WHPEMS projects, which are also implemented in small companies, focus each year on a new topic that emerges from the needs of workers. During their regular medical check-up in the workplace, workers are invited to fill in a questionnaire regarding the project topic, its outcome, and some related factors. Workers receive advice on how to improve their lifestyles and are referred to the National Health Service for any necessary tests or treatments. Results collected over the past 12 years from more than 20,000 participants demonstrate that WHPEMS projects are economical, sustainable, and effective. The creation of a network of occupational physicians who are involved in WHPEMS projects could help to improve the work culture, health, and safety of workers.

“…Since 1998, only a few cross‐country studies have been performed. Some of the notable studies with multiple countries started evolving in the decade immediately preceding the year 2022 (Gao et al, 2022; Han et al, 2014; Kapadia‐Kundu et al, 2014; Kapoor & Tagat, 2022; Y. Kim & Chung, 2022; Niu et al, 2022; Wang et al, 2021). One of the studies compared the two largest economies, namely the United States and China (Wang et al, 2021).…”

“…Surveys recommend adequate preventive healthcare actions at the individual consumer level (Housten et al, 2018). Furthermore, consumer adoption of PHB requires well‐designed policy interventions and appropriate support and coordination by healthcare providers, businesses, and civil societies (Adoch et al, 2020; Dickson et al, 2020; Gao et al, 2022; Kohler et al, 2022; Limbu et al, 2018; Zgibor et al, 2017).…”

Preventive healthcare behavior (PHB) refers to actions taken by consumers to avert possible incidences of lifestyle diseases. Over the years, diverse approaches have been used to comprehend the complex nature of PHB. This paper follows a three‐step process to examine work done in the PHB domain. At the outset, past literature was examined. This review included PHB models and frameworks, followed by a root‐cause analysis to identify factors that impacted PHB adoption. A systematic literature review (SLR) using a domain‐based hybrid review approach was the study's third and most crucial part. The SPAR‐4‐SLR (scientific procedures and rationales for systematic literature reviews) protocol was used to conduct the hybrid review, involving two separate review studies. In the first study, a bibliometric analysis was carried out, wherein a trend analysis was conducted on an initial pool of 1011 primary peer‐reviewed publications (1998–2023). The trend analysis was followed by a co‐citation network analysis of 39,608 secondary articles, which validated the importance of primary articles as indicated by the co‐citations in these secondary articles. Further, a purification process based on reliability, validity, and replicability criteria resulted in a final pool of 190 relevant articles. These articles were subjected to a thematic analysis. Next, a framework‐based review based on the theories, contexts, characteristics, and methods (TCCM) framework was conducted on the 190 articles. This step validated the primary study findings. Additionally, it examined and reported the underlying theories, context (country level), characteristics, and methods adopted by previous PHB studies. This analysis helps in indicating the future research agenda regarding PHB. Furthermore, the inferences drawn from the two studies were used to propose a conceptual framework for understanding consumers' PHB decisions based on the antecedents, decisions, and outcomes (ADO) framework. The framework posits that specific personal, demographic, cultural, social and socioeconomic factors are precursors to PHB adoption. This PHB adoption, in turn, has positive outcomes such as enhanced quality of life, consumer wellbeing, health promotion, health behavior change, and planning. The comprehensive review and proposed framework will significantly help advance knowledge about PHB. Apart from contributing to the academic literature, learnings from this study hold value for practitioners at the global level for designing actionable strategies for preventive healthcare products and services.

“…To link consumers' diet healthfulness to pandemic-initiated stress and fear more effectively, we built a formal intertemporal model consisting of four parts: hedonic utility, health-related expected utility, a time preference parameter weighting hedonic utility and health-related expected utility, and a subjective probability of individuals' belief about the true relation between health-related utility and diet (Gao et al, 2021).…”

This article investigates how the COVID‐19 pandemic and related public health measures affected the consumption of food away from home (FAFH) among Chinese consumers. We obtained access to the complete sales records from a major restaurant chain in China, for 111 sites located in 12 cities, covering over 5.6 million high‐frequency dining transactions made between 1 January 2019 and 31 December 2020. By applying a high‐dimensional fixed‐effects model, we found that, on average, consumers spent more and ordered more calories (as well as carbohydrates, protein, fat, and sodium) after the COVID‐19 outbreak than in the pre‐COVID‐19 period. Our results do not support the hypothesis that COVID‐19 led to healthier eating behaviors during and after the pandemic. Our results underline the importance of nutrition education and awareness programs to mitigate unhealthy eating habits generated by the pandemic and of the continued role of FAFH after the pandemic.
