Background: Although several studies have investigated the effectiveness of health checkup services, very few have been conducted in developing countries. Objective: The study examined factory workers’ health awareness, attitudes, behaviors, and non-communicable disease (NCD) outcomes before and after receiving mobile health checkups using a portable health clinic system in India. Methods: Data were collected from 141 factory workers at the largest dairy factory in Jaipur who participated in the baseline and 6 months follow-up health checkup surveys in 2018. The questionnaire and health checkup data included participants’ sociodemographic information, awareness, attitudes, behaviors, and NCD outcomes. The significance of differences in these data between the first and second health checkups was compared using paired sample t-tests and McNemar tests. Results: The mean blood glucose level decreased significantly from 139.3 to 123.9 mg/dL after 6 months. The mean value of body mass index (BMI) was significantly reduced from 25.0 to 24.8 after 6 months. The proportion of participants who were aware of their hypertension status increased significantly after 6 months (8.5% to 25.5%). The percentages of participants who reported “currently taking medicine or drugs for hypertension or type 2 diabetes” increased significantly after 6 months (5.7% to 17.7% and 6.4% to 12.8%, respectively). The percentage of participants who reported “already trying to improve their eating habits” significantly increased from 5.7% to 17.7%, and who reported “already trying to improve their excise habits” increased significantly from 3.5% to 12.1%. The proportion of participants who reported “I am willing to pay more than 500 Indian rupees [approximately 800 Japanese yen] for mobile health checkup services” rose significantly from 4.3% to 39.7%. Conclusions: The levels of participants’ awareness, ttitudes, behaviors, and NCD outcomes improved after 6 months. Regular mobile health checkup services could be an effective approach in developing countries.
