Obesity & Weight Gain in Sedentary
Jobs
Obesity and weight gain is an occupational
hazard in sedentary jobs. For example, driving a bus or piloting a plane
may cause weight-related health risks, according to a weight-loss study
reported in the Manila Bulletin. Certainly, transportation workers have
higher levels of obesity and obesity-related diseases than other occupations.
Working odd hours, eating on the run and remaining physically inactive
for long periods are all probably contributing factors, says the weight
loss article.
A study of more than 5,000 Bulgarian transportation
workers found that 65 percent of them were either overweight or obese.
And, they had higher levels of heart disease and type 2 diabetes.
