BACKGROUND The American Heart Association (AHA) recently created the construct of "ideal cardiovascular health" based on 7 cardiovascular health metrics to measure progress toward their 2020 Impact Goal. The present study applied this construct to assess the baseline cardiovascular health of a rural population targeted with a community-based cardiovascular disease prevention program. METHODS ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to assess construct and discriminant validity of four health-related work productivity loss questionnaires in relation to employer productivity metrics, and to describe variation in economic estimates of productivity loss provided by the questionnaires in healthy workers. METHODS Fifty-eight billing office workers completed surveys including health informati...
