Surveys reveal that every second employee is overweight or morbidly obese. 6 out of 10 employees had high levels of HDL (cholesterol) which is a risk factor for heart related diseases. In this study, 44.2% of employees were overweight, 16.85% were obese, 3.89% had diabetes and 64.93% had elevated cholesterol levels.
