Clinical Trial Summary

This cohort study investigates how implementation of Biological Age technology in worksite health promotion, affects health behavior in the general Danish working population.

Description:

This cohort study is designed on the basis of Body Age tests, executed by a private Danish health care company in the period from 2010 to 2013.

The dataset comprises pre- and post Body Age tests from >4000 individuals. They used a standardised protocol and educated staff ( physiotherapists or with a degree in sports science) to carry out the tests. Body Age tests apply biometrics, fitness level and health status data of the employee. The test results are characterized by a Body Age score, which defines the employee's biological age (in years).

This design categorises as a register study why The Danish National Committee is not applied for.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Biological Age	An algorithm calculates Biological Age, using physiological parameters and biomarkers measured during the test.	The Biological Age is calculated at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	BMI	BodyMassIndex is a major risk factor for developing lifestyle related diseases.	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	Bodyweight	The weight in kilograms of each individual	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	FM	Fat Mass is important to look at isolated in reference to whole bodyweight	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	FFM	Fat Free Mass is important to look at isolated in reference to Whole bodyweight	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	BP	Bloodpressure as a result from systolic and diastolic bloodpressure	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	VO2max	Maximal Oxygen consumption	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	BG	Blood Glucose	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	HDL	High Density Lipoprotein	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
Secondary	LDL	Low Density Lipoprotein	Measured at baseline and at one year follow up
