| description | The burden of cardiovascular (CV) diseases is increasing in Malaysia. This has an adverse effect on the country’s health, society and economy. The general objective of
this research was to develop an effective and efficient worksite health promotion program that could reduce the cardiovascular risk factors among employees at the

factors (RFs) i.e. smoking, alcohol consumption, inadequate fruit and vegetable intake, physical inactivity and overweight/obesity. |
