PURPOSE: To evaluate changes in employees' biometrics over time relative to outcome-based incentive thresholds.
DESIGN: Retrospective cohort analysis of biometric screening participants (n = 26 388).
SETTING: Large employer primarily in Western United States.
PARTICIPANTS: Office, retail, and distribution workforce.
INTERVENTION: A voluntary outcome-based biometric screening program, incentivized with health insurance premium discounts.
MEASURES: Body mass index (BMI), cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, and nicotine.
ANALYSIS: Followed were participants from their first year of participation, evaluating changes in measures.
RESULTS: On average, participants who did not meet the incentive threshold at baseline decreased their BMI (1%), glucose (8%), blood pressure (systolic 9%, diastolic 8%), and total cholesterol (8%) by year 2 with improvements generally sustained or continued during each additional year of participation.
CONCLUSION: On average, individuals at high health risk who participated in a financially incentivized biometric assessment program improved their health indices over time. Further research is needed to understand key determinants that drive health improvement indicated here.
