Abstract: 

This article discusses quality of life and its association with health promotion, qualified as an integrated strategy for healthy people in healthy organizations. It uses Data Science resources and addresses the purpose of disease prevention and the development of workers' health and well-being potential. It presents conditions and data on the implementation of a Health Modifiable Risk Factor Management model, as well as the economic and financial impacts of cardiovascular pathologies, including the top 10 causes of death in 2020 in the USA (temporary data) and a list of health care cost studies with an emphasis on cardiovascular pathologies and modifiable health risk factors. Likewise, in the geographic analysis, it demonstrates the increase in the cost of medical care in Brazil. The conclusions suggest that the use of metrics supported by the consolidated scientific literature aims to redirect the state of imbalance to equilibrium, from negativity to positivity and from excess costs to cost reduction.
