Lifestyle counselling by Dutch occupational health professionals and its determinants: a cross-sectional study

While a significant number of Dutch OHPs practise lifestyle counselling, there is room for improvement by addressing barriers and enhancing self-efficacy. Training and structural support are recommended to increase the prevalence and quality of lifestyle counselling and referrals to CLI. This study highlights the importance of integrating lifestyle medicine into occupational health to prevent chronic illnesses such as obesity, and improve employee health outcomes.
