OBJECTIVE To investigate the cost-effectiveness and cost-benefit of a lifestyle intervention for construction workers with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. [] Key Method Missing data were imputed. A cost-effectiveness analysis was performed from a societal perspective. Uncertainty around the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) was estimated by bootstrapped cost-effect pairs.

A Cost-effectiveness and Return-on-Investment Analysis of a Worksite Vitality Intervention Among Older Hospital Workers: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
TLDR
The intervention was neither cost-effective nor cost-saving, and the return-on-investment analysis was performed from the employer's perspective using bootstrapping techniques.
Economic Evaluation of an Occupational Health Care Guideline for Prevention of Weight Gain Among Employees
TLDR
The occupational health care guideline for occupational physicians was not cost-effective and no financial return was shown.

Prevention program at construction worksites aimed at improving health and work ability is cost-saving to the employer: results from an RCT.
TLDR
The intervention in the present study was cost-saving to the employer due to reduced sickness absenteeism costs in the intervention group compared with the control group, however, the intervention cannot be regarded as cost-effective as no significant effects were found for work ability and health.

TLDR
By placing economic evaluation in a regression framework, regression-based techniques can facilitate the analysis and provide simple solutions to commonly encountered challenges in economic evaluations of person-level data.
Systematic review on the financial return of worksite health promotion programmes aimed at improving nutrition and/or increasing physical activity
TLDR
This systematic review summarizes the current evidence on the financial return of worksite health promotion programmes aimed at improving nutrition and/or increasing physical activity and generates financial savings in terms of reduced absenteeism costs, medical costs or both according to NRSs whereas they do not according to RCTs.
Long-Term Cost-Effectiveness and Return-on-Investment of a Mindfulness-Based Worksite Intervention: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
TLDR
The mindfulness-based worksite intervention was neither cost-saving nor cost-effective and poor e-coaching compliance might partly explain this result.

TLDR
Overall, mean weighted ROI in workplace health promotion demonstrated a positive ROI and higher methodological quality studies provided evidence of smaller financial returns, while an inverse relationship to ROI was found.

Design of a RCT evaluating the (cost-) effectiveness of a lifestyle intervention for male construction workers at risk for cardiovascular disease: The Health under Construction study
TLDR
By improving lifestyle, CVD risk may be lowered, yielding benefits for both employee and employer, and if proven effective, this lifestyle intervention will be implemented on a larger scale within the Occupational Health Services in construction industry.
Costs, benefits and effectiveness of worksite physical activity counseling from the employer's perspective.
TLDR
This study does not provide a financial reason for implementing worksite counseling intervention on physical activity on the short-term, however, positive effects were shown for energy expenditure and cardiorespiratory fitness.

TLDR
An effective weight management programme in primary care could potentially reduce prescription costs and lead to substantial cost avoidance, such that at least 8% of the programme delivery cost would be recouped from prescribing savings alone in the first year.

Lifestyle-focused interventions at the workplace to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease--a systematic review.
TLDR
Strong evidence was found for the effectiveness of workplace lifestyle-based interventions on body fat and, in populations at risk for CVD, body weight.
Economic evaluation of an Internet-based weight management program.
TLDR
The BIT program is a cost-effective choice for weight management, it may cost more initially, but it results in long-term cost savings, and could provide a valuable tool for preventive care aimed at improving individual and societal health.
Measuring productivity changes in economic evaluation: setting the research agenda.
TLDR
Research questions related to productivity and health are reviewed, focusing on the costs of short-term absence from work, productivity costs without absence ('presenteeism') and possible compensation mechanisms and circumstances that may affect productivity costs.
Practice and potential of economic evaluation of workplace-based interventions for occupational health and safety
TLDR
There is a need for economic expertise in the multidisciplinary research teams evaluating workplace-based occupational health and safety interventions, and more than half of these studies considered only the consequences in monetary terms, rather than both the costs and consequences associated with the intervention.
Cost-effectiveness in clinical trials: using multiple imputation to deal with incomplete cost data
TLDR
A Cancer Research UK phase III trial comparing chemotherapy against standard palliative care in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer indicated that CT had a high probability of being cost-effective for a societal willingness to pay over £20 000 per life-year gained, in stark contrast with the complete case analysis.
