Impact of Telework on Body Composition, Physical Fitness, and Physical Symptoms in Japanese Workers.
Objective: This study examined the associations between telework frequency and physical function, body composition, and physical symptoms among Japanese office workers.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included 93 workers from Tokyo. Telework frequency was categorized into four groups: no telework, ≤1 day/week, 2-3 days/week, and ≥ 4 days/week. The 30-second chair stand test, bioelectrical impedance analysis, and the Japanese version of the Somatic Symptom Scale-8 (SSS-8) were used for assessment.
Results: A higher telework frequency was significantly associated with lower chair-standing test performance (P for trend = 0.048). No significant trends were observed in skeletal muscle mass or body fat percentage. Severe physical symptoms (SSS-8 score ≥ 16) were more prevalent among high-frequency teleworkers (P < 0.05).
Conclusions: These findings highlight the need for interventions to mitigate the negative impacts of telework on workers' physical fitness.
