Introduction Office workers are exposed to several risks that are often underestimated. Methods This study highlights the consequences linked to this exposure, through a retrospective study of data linked to office workers. Our investigation was carried out on a sample of 375 cases, following inclusion criteria: aged between 40 and 59 years, sedentary work in the office with exposure to the screen at least 4 hours/day. Results The average age of our study is 55.6, with a female predominance (a sex ratio of 0.41). According to the body mass index, we find 42% overweight, 39% having obesity, and only 18% have normal build. For the blood pressure, 59% had arterial hypertension, including only 32% with among them are followed by a doctor, 25% having high normal blood pressure of which 10% are followed, 8% having optimal blood pressure, and only 6.5% having normal blood pressure. Regarding visual acuity, 37% suffer from presbyopia, 9% have myopia, 35% have a combination of the two, 4% have astigmatism, and only 15% have normal visual acuity. For the diseases detected during medical visits or mentioned during the interview, we find 43% musculoskeletal disorders; 25% thyroid conditions, 21% psychological conditions and, 17% diabetes. Discussion These findings provide valuable insights into the health status of office workers, indicating a significant prevalence of various health conditions that require further medical attention and intervention. Conclusion Although the professional risks linked to office work are less visible, they aren’t absent, hence the need to apply effective preventive action in order to avoid the risks.
