The construction sector in Colombia is considered one of the country's most important economic activities, boosting social progress, productivity, economic growth and job creation.

For that reason, this qualitative and descriptive research, had the objective of analyzing the impact and benefits of promoting healthy lifestyles in construction workers, from bibliographic revision spanning 2018 to 2025, taking into account exclusion and inclusion criteria. The obtained results evidence a positive relation between the promotion of healthy lifestyles and health, life quality and physical and psychological well-being, in addition to preventing and decreasing absenteeism, fatigue and work-related stress; nonetheless, there is not enough evidence to correlate the promotion and job satisfaction, since they are considered independent variables.
