What are the Health Implications of Office Jobs? Health WorkFromHome OfficeJobs
Energy expenditure associated with sedentary behaviorPositive effects associated with office work Office jobs significantly contribute to the growing trend toward professions that shift the nature of occupations from active to sedentary. A cause for this change is the shift from paper-based to digitized ways of working.
To quantify this association, for each 2-hour increment in period spent sitting, there is a 5% increase in obesity and 7% in mortality, respectively. Prolonged states of sedentary behavior are also associated with an increased risk of musculoskeletal disorders, particularly lower back pain. In addition, there is an increased risk of sarcopenia, which increases by 33% per hour of incremental sitting.
Cardiovascular effects The WHO and the International Labour Office have estimated that in 2016, 398,000 deaths associated with stroke and 347 with heart disease were linked to working more than 55 hours per week. Between 2010 and 2016m the number of deaths associated with heart disease increased by 42%, and for stroke, 19%.
Musculoskeletal disorders Work-related musculoskeletal disorders are a current and growing challenge to public health. They result in health-related absences from work. The most common of these include muscle tightness, joint pain, joint stiffness, and swelling in the associated area. These problems occur predominantly in the back and upper extremities. Office workers who were older, female, worked for long hours and had greater experience were at higher risk of WMSDs.
