Abstract:
A systematic review was conducted to summarize health intervention program that aimed to increase physical activity
and/or nutrition among middle income and low income countries employees from January 2008 until December 2019.
The objective of this review is to identify the types of health intervention and its effects on increasing physical activities
and nutrition at the workplace. A systematic search of the following databases was conducted: Scopus, PubMed and
Web of Science following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) guideline.
A modified McMaster critical appraisal tool for quantitative studies was used to assess the methodological quality of
the included studies. Given the heterogeneity of the included studies, a descriptive synthesis was conducted. Out of 6940
studies, 36 studies met the inclusion criteria range from health education, environmental change and behavioural
change of healthy lifestyle. Based on a heterogeneous evidence base it can be surmised that workplace health
interventions may have a positive impact on the health and behaviour of the employees. Current evidence however lacks
clarity and uniformity in terms of intervention parameters and measurement outcomes, which limits broader application
of these results. In conclusion, workplace health intervention is potential for increasing physical activity and improving
the nutritional status of employees. Recommendation with regard to effectiveness however cannot be made. It is hoped
that findings from this review may inform and guide future policies and practices regarding workplace health promotion.
