Noncommunicable diseases are growing worldwide and their impact within organizations affects the productivity of companies. The accelerated pace of life, sedentary lifestyle, eating habits, and lack of self-regulation have deteriorated workers’ health conditions. The Health 4.0 paradigm can help in health prevention and promotion thanks to the use of smart devices and digital tools adaptable to users and companies. Trials from 11 bibliographic databases were consulted and out of a total of 742 articles, 86 were selected that met the selection criteria. There is scientific evidence that supports the use of smart devices in companies focusing on weight control, physical activity, sleep control, and glycemic index to impact the treatment and prevention of noncommunicable diseases such as diabetes, overweight, work stress, cardiovascular diseases, and in lifestyle. Using wearables or smartphones, incentive programs or assistance with specialists have been considered by some researchers; elements such as privacy and information security are essential in the implementation, as well as methods that can maintain the use of these prevention and health promotion programs. More research is necessary regarding the use of smart devices such as the permanence of health initiatives in companies, cost-effectiveness, and real-time analysis, and focus on various pathological conditions for success in prevention and health promotion strategies.

Noncommunicable diseases (NCD) are the leading causes of death and the main public health problem worldwide [1] and are associated with an acute picture of dyslipidemia that is part of the main risk factors along with smoking, sedentary activities, incorrect diet, and genetic factors that have caused diseases such as metabolic syndrome, oncological, cardiology, neurological and respiratory diseases. NCD are a major problem in low-income and middle-income countries, consuming increasing proportions of health care budgets. NCD are among the leading causes of disability and ill health and are the leading cause of preventable and premature death, having a significant impact on economies. NCD generate large out-of-pocket health costs for both individuals and families, as well as huge health outlays in national budgets. The analysis proposed can provide critical information to monitor trends in population health outcomes, recognize the pattern of diseases and injuries affecting premature mortality and disability. This paper shows an approach for the identification of the behavior of four main NCD (cardiovascular diseases, respiratory diseases, diabetes mellitus, and neoplasms) along thirteen countries selected and various economic variables related to the health and work issues from 1961 to 2021 with unbalanced data. The primary focus is the analysis on mortality in population within working age. ©Springer
