What influences NHS Health Check behaviors?
National Health Service Health Checks were introduced in 2009 to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risks and events. Since then, national evaluations have highlighted the need to maximize the program's impact by improving coverage and outputs. A systematic review published today in BMC Public Health identifies behaviors and actors relevant to uptake, delivery and follow up of NHS Health Checks and influences on these behaviors.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the number 1 cause of death globally, with an estimated 17.7 million people having died from CVD conditions in 2015, representing 31% of all global deaths. In England in 2017, more than 124,000 people died from CVD[1]. Changing behaviors related to diet, physical activity, smoking and alcohol intake can reduce CVD risk. The delivery of interventions targeting these behaviors also often requires healthcare professional (HCP) behaviors to change.
