Overview

Longitudinal study finds frequent WFH leads to prolonged sedentary behavior in desk workers, suggesting targeted interventions are needed.

Key Points

  • The aim is to determine the association between work-from-home frequency and prolonged sedentary behavior, considering individual characteristics.
  • Defined prolonged sedentary behavior as sitting for 8 hours or more per day.
  • Categorized work-from-home frequency into low, middle, and high groups.
  • Employed multivariate logistic regression to analyze associations.
  • Middle frequency WFH group was 1.69 times more likely to experience prolonged SB than the low group.
  • High frequency WFH group had a 1.88 times higher likelihood of prolonged SB compared to the low group.
  • The association was particularly strong among full-time non-managerial males working 40 hours or more per week.
