"Individuals who decreased work from home had 17% higher odds of being physically inactive (fully adjusted model OR: 1.17, 95% CI: 1.00-1.37) compared to those who did not change their amount of work from home. Changes in work from home were not statistically significantly associated with problem drinking or obesity. However, there was a tendency for those who decreased work from home to have higher odds of obesity (OR: 1.08, 95% CI: 0.94-1.24), although the association did not reach statistical significance."
"Using 8195 participants from the 2022 wave of the Swedish Longitudinal Survey of Health, we used logistic regression to analyze the associations between changes in the amount of remote work from pre-pandemic to late pandemic, and physical inactivity, problem drinking, and obesity. Models were first adjusted for age and sex; then for civil status, having children under the age of 12 years at home, and occupation; and finally for job stress, work-family conflict, and family-work conflict."
Changes in work-from-home levels from pre- to late pandemic were measured among 8,195 Swedish participants from the 2022 Swedish Longitudinal Survey of Health. Logistic regression tested associations between changes in remote work and physical inactivity, problem drinking, and obesity. Models adjusted sequentially for age and sex; civil status, presence of children under 12, and occupation; and job stress, work-family conflict, and family-work conflict. Decreasing remote work was associated with 17% higher odds of physical inactivity (fully adjusted OR 1.17, 95% CI 1.00–1.37). No statistically significant associations emerged for problem drinking or obesity, though decreased remote work tended toward higher obesity odds.
