Sedentary lifestyle and remote working as predisposing factors for cancer development

Abstract

Introduction and Objective. A sedentary lifestyle and the widespread practice of remote working are becoming increasingly common in society. Reports highlight their association with the development of various diseases, including cancer. The aim of this study was to analyze the available literature and determine the real impact of sedentary lifestyle and engagement in remote working on the development of cancer. Such an analysis is essential as cancer-related diseases are becoming an increasingly serious societal issue. Preventive measures are also presented. The study also presents preventive measures, the implementation of which could potentially minimize the risk of developing these diseases. Brief description of the state of knowledge. People are increasingly adopting sedentary lifestyles from a young age. Remote working has gained popularity in recent times, contributing to the strengthening of this trend. A sedentary lifestyle can have adverse effects on both mental and physical health, leading to the development of various diseases, including obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. However, there is growing evidence of a correlation between a sedentary lifestyle and cancer, which is becoming more prevalent in society. Recommendations are also available for reducing sedentary behaviour and, consequently, the development of certain diseases, including cancer. Summary. A sedentary lifestyle and remote working are risk factors for many diseases, including cancer. It is essential to take actions to limit the adoption of such lifestyles as which. Further research is needed to precisely determine the relationships between these phenomena.
