Following on from last Thursday’s story in which we reported UK office workers consume on average 700 calories per day more than workers in other environments<\/a>, a Canadian study has found that office work increases the risk of obesity.<\/p>\n

Researchers at the University of Montreal have been addressing the conundrum that, although since the 1970s diets have improved and more people are exercising, obesity rates have continued to rise.<\/p>\n

“People eat better and exercise more today than they did in the 1970s, yet obesity rates continue to rise,” says study leader Carl-Étienne Juneau. Juneau suggests the explanation may lie in changing work habits, in particular the post-industrial shift towards more desk<\/a>-oriented, less physically demanding jobs.<\/p>\n

The investigators collected data over a 26-year period between 1978 and 2004. During this time, obesity increased by 10 percent among the sample. This rise occurred despite a decrease in calorie intake and increased leisure-time activity in the same period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
