Abstract

The Adventist health message is unique among religious groups. For that reason, Adventists have been part of many health studies in developed countries. This small study focuses on the health of Adventist employees in a developing country. Many of the male participants in the study were found to be overweight, and to have elevated risk of heart disease. These results suggest that Filipino Adventist workers may need to be less casual about exercise and diet if they wish to live long, healthy lives.
