It found that while 71.7% of eligible adults attended the check-up, only 35.2% of those at high cardiovascular risk who were invited for health guidance actually received it.
Predictors of better adherence to the guidance invitation included older age, more severe hypertension, diabetes, or dyslipidemia lab results, and self-reported motivation for lifestyle change. Limitations include the study population being limited to workers in architecture/civil engineering, potential misclassification of clinic visits, and the use of a unique national risk definition that may limit generalizability. The findings suggest future public health efforts to improve adherence should target younger individuals and those with milder risk factors.
