Abstract

As a method of reducing lifestyle-related diseases and guidance in small- and medium-sized enterprises where blood examination by blood collection from the upper arm cannot be performed, we developed a program for reducing lifestyle-related diseases by blood analysis using a fingertip collection kit and a small centrifuge, and evaluated this program in small- and medium-sized enterprises. During a 6-month period, a total of 7 interviews and a total of 3 own blood collections were performed by workers showing abnormalities in items associated with lifestyle-related diseases, such as lipids and glucose, in a periodic medical examination. Many of the participants in this program showed improvement in blood analysis data (triglyceride), abdominal circumference, and body weight. The cost of the examination was low. This self-monitoring method, which is based on objective data and can be readily and easily performed in the workplace, may be useful for reducing lifestyle-related diseases.<br> (San Ei Shi 2007; 49: 89-97)<br>
