    More work needs to be done to create a healthy workplace, and to reduce the risk of cancer and other chronic diseases among Chinese workers, a new survey has found.

    Details of the survey were released at a press conference held recently.

    The online excercise -- the 2016 Corporate Health Benefit and Employee Health Management Survey -- was conducted by the Shanghai Pilot Health Promotion Center, an affiliate of the US non-profit organization CEO Roundtable on Cancer.

    The survey, conducted over July and August covered nearly 13,000 employees in more than 2,000 companies and organizations.

    Most of the respondents were young people in medium and large corporations.

    According to the survey, only 34 percent of the respondents said they did not suffer any of the 12 diseases listed in the survey, including high blood pressure and cervical spondylosis.

    About 36 percent had least two diseases from the list, and about 12 percent had three diseases or more.

    Sleep problems, high blood pressure, cervical spondylosis and hyperlipidemia were the most significant diseases among employees.

    The survey also showed that people had limited sources to gain knowledge about healthy habits and lifestyles.

    The survey found that the most important channel for people to acquire knowledge about healthy habits was the Internet, but the accuracy of the information could not be ascertained.

    There were also significant gaps between the employees' expectations and the health benefits provided by corporations and organizations to their staff, the survey showed.
