Abstract

<p>The aim of this study was to clarify the effectiveness of programs for improving metabolic syndrome in the occupational field. Ninety-two employees from three companies located in Hirosaki city, Aomori, participated, and all received health checkups before and after the 3-month intervention program, which consisted of three components: measurement of visceral fat every month, providing education on a healthy daily diet, and adherence to a Japanese-style lunch box designed to decrease visceral fat. There were significant improvements in waist circumference, visceral fat area, and systolic blood pressure. Furthermore, weight loss was observed in men. These findings suggest that not only dietary intervention, but also a program for self-monitoring and health education, may be beneficial for individuals with metabolic syndrome.</p>
