Discussion Points• Employees fare better than non employees on some
CVD indicators
• Employees report that lack of time is the primary reason they are not more physically active
• Employees reported more physical activity during breaks/lunch in 2003 than 1998
• Employer sponsored sports teams declined between 1998 and 2003
• Some workplace policies may be associated with increased employee physical activity levels
