What health problems lurk among white-collar workers? How to avoid or alleviate it?
China's emerging white-collar workers are struggling under high-intensity work pressure, but they sit more, exercise less, have great mental stress, and work and rest irregularly, which leads to the so-called "white-collar syndrome" sub-health state becoming more and more common. According to statistics, the abnormal rate of physical examination indicators of white-collar workers in some cities in China has reached 94%. Shanghai white-collar workers are the representatives of China white-collar workers. The White Paper 20 15 of Shanghai White-collar Health Index written by Shanghai Foreign Service and the health survey report of white-collar workers in China in previous years show that the sub-health state of white-collar workers in China has three characteristics: cervical spondylosis, decreased sexual happiness, overweight/three highs.

The health status of white-collar workers in China is not optimistic. "20 10~20 14 White Paper on White Collar Health in Shanghai" extracted the physical examination data of Shanghai Foreign Service Health Management Center for analysis, and the total number of samples was 380,883. The results show that:

1. The overall health status of white-collar workers in Shanghai is not optimistic. Key data: The abnormal rate of physical examination indicators of white-collar workers in Shanghai reached 94.6%.

2. Under the high pressure of work and life, the detection rate of fatty liver, overweight and hyperlipidemia mainly caused by diet and lifestyle is high. Key data: In 20 14 years, fatty liver/fatty liver infiltration (29.5%), overweight (25.8%) and hypertriglyceridemia (2 1%) were the most abnormal physical examination indexes of white-collar workers.

3. Male white-collar workers, no matter how busy they are at work and how much they socialize, should control their weight and strengthen their exercise. Key data: 45.4% of male white-collar workers have fatty liver or fatty liver infiltration, 40.2% are overweight, and the proportion of hypertriglyceridemia is 30%.

4. Female white-collar workers, please relieve stress, relax and pay more attention to breast health. Key data: 8 1.9% female white-collar workers were diagnosed with lobular hyperplasia of breast.

A special survey shows that the average life expectancy of Chinese intellectuals is 58 years, which is lower than the national average life expectancy 10 years; The average death age of intellectuals in Zhongguancun is 53.34 years, which is 5. 18 years shorter than that of 10 years ago.

White-collar workers in China were promoted and worried about "sexual happiness". According to the Survey Report of China White-collar Satisfaction Index released by Zhaopin in 20 14, the job satisfaction of white-collar workers in China is low, with a score of 5, which only reaches 2.4 1. The most dissatisfied is "failure to get promoted", and the job promotion satisfaction index is only 1.9 1, which is the most dissatisfied among the five major aspects of work.

The survey shows that the life satisfaction index of China white-collar workers in 20 14 years is 2.22, which is not high or even lower than the job satisfaction. Among them, China white-collar workers are the most dissatisfied with their sexual life, and their satisfaction is only 1.64, which is far lower than other items in the life satisfaction index. The survey found that the "sexual happiness" index of white-collar workers is low, with more than half of them having sex less than 1 time per month, and only about 1/4 of them have sex at least 1 time per week.

White-collar workers are not satisfied with sex life, but the number of male sperm decreases, and the incidence of prostatitis and erectile dysfunction increases year by year. The incidence of lobular hyperplasia, external hemorrhoids and abnormal leucorrhea in female breast is also increasing. Experts say that the "sexual happiness" obstacle of white-collar workers is closely related to their diet, work and rest habits, psychological emotions and so on. For example, eating more high-oil and high-fat foods, sedentary and not exercising, often working overtime, irregular life, and great mental stress are all difficult to solve. Considering the sedentary habits of white-collar workers, inappropriate seats are also one of the main reasons for not having sex.

When using ordinary office chairs, due to our working habits, our bodies often lean forward, which leads to the compression of blood vessels and nerves in the waist and buttocks, which will lead to lumbar diseases for a long time; For sedentary men, it will oppress the reproductive system and increase the prevalence of reproductive diseases. If the cushion of the office chair is an airtight mesh, the temperature of the private parts of both male and female white-collar workers will increase, and the sperm vitality of male white-collar workers will also decrease. Female white-collar private parts are in a warm and humid environment, which is prone to gynecological inflammation. To avoid "sexual happiness", it is necessary to reduce the sitting time and stand up and walk every once in a while to relieve the oppression of private parts; Or try to sit in a station office; In addition, switching to a two-petal saddle chair that is more suitable for computer office can reduce the damage to the reproductive system caused by sedentary.

Li Dabao Ergonomics Furniture Co., Ltd. introduced the internationally popular new double-fold saddle chair to China for the first time. The hollow design in the middle of this chair allows the male and female reproductive systems to breathe freely without oppression and reduces the prevalence of reproductive diseases. Moreover, the design of the saddle chair is to imitate the riding action, and maintain the ideal "135 degree sitting posture" which is beneficial to physical activities (that is, the trunk and lower limbs are at 135 degree), so that the upper torso can be naturally straightened, which is helpful to alleviate diseases such as lumbar deformation and strain.

80% IT white-collar workers suffer from neck-shoulder-wrist syndrome. According to the "20 15-2020 China Big Health Industry Market Deep Investigation and Development Strategy Research Report" published by Industrial Information Network, a large proportion of urban white-collar workers and employees of foreign companies in China are in sub-health, which is also commonly known as "white-collar syndrome". Different from the high-income class, the health status of professional white-collar workers is more manifested in work-related diseases such as neck-shoulder-wrist syndrome and chronic fatigue syndrome. Among the global 10 major occupational diseases published by the World Health Organization, musculoskeletal system disorders, nervous system disorders and psychological disorders rank third, seventh and tenth respectively. Among the urban white-collar workers in China, more and more employees complain about their neck and waist discomfort. They feel shoulder and wrist pain, cramps, muscle tension or weakness. Some people have symptoms such as anxiety, insomnia, nervousness and decreased immunity, and even have to see a doctor.

The Zhongguancun Human Resources Health Survey Report, implemented by Zhongguancun Human Resources Managers Association, shows that more than 80% of Zhongguancun entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs suffer from cervical spondylosis. This disease, which is common in people over 50 years old, unexpectedly appears in Zhongguancun IT practitioners with an average age of only 465,438+0 years old. This is directly related to their work characteristics and methods, and computers are undoubtedly the culprit.

Experts suggest that cervical spondylosis should be prevented early. For white-collar workers, replacing a comfortable ergonomic chair that can be adjusted freely and adding a monitor bracket that can move the screen position freely can effectively prevent and relieve lumbar cervical spondylosis.

Everyone has a different body shape. The biggest feature of ergonomic computer chair is that it can be adjusted according to the body shape, so that users can sit comfortably and healthily. Take the international leading high-end ergonomic computer chair Li Dabao ergonomic computer chair as an example. A chair has 17 adjustment functions, including headrest height adjustment, headrest angle adjustment, waist pillow height adjustment, waist pillow elasticity adjustment, chair back height adjustment, cushion angle adjustment, cushion depth adjustment, reclining elasticity adjustment, reclining angle adjustment, armrest height adjustment, armrest width adjustment and armrest inclination adjustment.

Among them, the depth of sitting and the precise adjustment of the lumbar pillow can make the lumbar pillow accurately fit on the 4-5 segments of the user's lumbar spine and ensure that the lumbar spine maintains a normal S-shaped curve. The breathable mesh pad is designed to protect the user's reproductive system from high temperature.

One of the best ways to prevent cervical spondylosis is to equip the monitor bracket. The base attached to the monitor is an important cause of cervical spondylosis. Although the base can adjust the tilt angle of the monitor to make the screen face the eyes and display a clear picture, the height cannot be adjusted freely. If you want to adjust the height of the monitor, you can only raise it by raising the desktop or putting something under the monitor base. However, the height of the monitor remains unchanged, which naturally causes the neck to maintain a fixed angle for a long time, resulting in habitual stiffness of the cervical spine, which in turn leads to cervical spondylosis that is difficult to cure.

According to the actual situation, freely adjusting the height, angle and distance of the monitor is helpful to the health of the cervical spine, so a monitor bracket that can make the monitor stretch, lift, rotate and tilt is a necessary office equipment for white-collar workers. Display stand has become a common configuration for foreign computer users. In the field of display stands, Egeson Ergotron of the United States, which cooperates with Li Dabao, has always been a pioneer and leader in the display stand industry.

How high is the monitor? It is best to maintain the height of the cervical spine in an upright posture. If you already have cervical spondylosis, you may wish to turn up the monitor occasionally, so that you can look up at the screen slightly and play a certain role in cervical traction.

More than 40% of male white-collar workers are overweight, three highs. Shanghai White Paper on White Collar Health released by Shanghai Foreign Service 20 15 shows that 45.4% of male white-collar workers have fatty liver or fatty liver infiltration, 40.2% are overweight, and the proportion of hypertriglyceridemia is 30%. In 2009, the number of overweight people only accounted for 1 1.6% of male white-collar workers, an increase of nearly three times in six years.

Overweight and three highs are closely related to male white-collar workers' eating habits, exercise habits and living habits, among which sitting in front of the computer for a long time is one of the main reasons.

Sedentary, consuming more energy, consuming less energy, most nutrients are deposited in the abdomen, resulting in the so-called "big belly", and the occurrence of overweight is naturally self-evident. Standing office is being welcomed by more and more white-collar workers abroad, and the lifting table has become a necessary office furniture for many companies and families.

Li Dabao Egsheng ergonomic lifting computer desk is a classic desk that is popular all over the world.

White-collar sub-health, white-collar syndrome and white-collar occupational diseases should not be underestimated. When you are young, a little carelessness will bury health risks, and the concentrated outbreak of hidden diseases in middle-aged and elderly people will make white-collar workers regret it. The concept of "exchange health for money when you are young, and exchange money for health when you are old" is extremely unwise. White-collar workers in China should pay attention to form good working and living habits when they are young, and use ergonomic furniture with scientific and technological content to improve office conditions, which can completely guarantee their health. It is wise to have both health and money.
