Driven by an older, more diverse population, along with a significant increase in risk factors including high blood pressure and obesity, total costs related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) conditions are likely to triple by 2050, according to recent projections. At least 6 in 10 U.S. adults (61%), more than 184 million people, are expected to have some type of CVD within the next 30 years, reflecting a disease prevalence that will have a $1.8 trillion price tag in direct and indirect costs.

Activity-promoting workplaces could boost physical activity and reduce sitting time among office-based workers. Yet, there are several gaps in the existing literature on how workplace design shapes behavior. Researchers have identified three significant gaps -- the impact of workplace culture, the role of overall building layout on workers' behaviors, and the need for accurate behavioral measures -- to pave the way for future research. Their insights are vital in developing interventions that promote active and healthy workplaces.
