In 2021, a survey of OOO Gazprom Dobycha Orenburg employees was conducted using the Atria DP (https://atriya.gnicpm.ru/).

A follow-up survey of workers using the Atria DP was conducted in 2025 to assess the program effectiveness. Results. A total of 2485 workers participated in the initial survey, 76,8% of whom were men. The mean age was 39,4±9,5 and 41,6±8,2 years for men and women, respectively. The following behavioral risk factors were identified among workers: adding salt to prepared foods (38,6%), not consuming vegetables (93,4%) and fruit (95,1%) several times a day, and no regular physical activity/sports (54,7%).
