The Health Crisis Of Office Jobs - Bob King - #1098
"Musculoskeletal disorders account for one-third of all workplace injuries in the US, costing employers an estimated $50 billion annually in compensation and lost productivity. People who predominantly sit at work have a 16% higher risk of all-cause mortality and a 34% higher risk of dying from cardiovascular disease."
King presented data showing that desk-related musculoskeletal disorders represent one-third of all U.S. workplace injuries, with a staggering $50 billion annual cost to employers. He further cited research linking prolonged sitting to significantly elevated mortality risks, including a 34% higher risk of cardiovascular death, making the case that sitting still is a major public health crisis.
