Sedanter Davranışın Ofis Çalışanlarında Kardiyovasküler ve Pulmoner Fonksiyonlar Üzerindeki Etkileri: Geleneksel Derleme

Öz

Ofis çalışanlarında sedanter davranış giderek yaygınlaşmakta ve işin doğası gereği uzun süre boyunca hareketsiz oturma, sınırlı postüral değişiklikler ve düşük fiziksel aktivite ile karakterizedir. Bu yaşam tarzı, kardiyovasküler ve pulmoner sistemler başta olmak üzere genel sağlık üzerinde olumsuz etkilere yol açmaktadır. Epidemiyolojik ve deneysel çalışmalar, uzun süreli oturmanın endotelyal disfonksiyon, arteriyel sertlik, glukoz ve lipid metabolizmasında bozulma, pulmoner kapasitede azalma, obezite, mental sağlık sorunları, belirli kanser türlerinin riskinde artış ve kas-iskelet sistemi bozuklukları ile ilişkili olduğunu ve tüm nedenlere bağlı erken ölümlerin yaklaşık %7’sinden sorumlu olabileceğini göstermektedir. Sedanter davranışın sağlık üzerindeki etkilerini anlamak, ofis ortamında ergonomik düzenlemeler ve davranışsal müdahaleler geliştirmek, çalışanların günlük oturma sürelerini azaltmak ve hafif-orta yoğunlukta fiziksel aktiviteyi teşvik etmek açısından kritik öneme sahiptir. Bu çalışma, ofis çalışanlarında uzun süreli oturma ile kardiyovasküler ve pulmoner fonksiyonlar arasındaki ilişkiyi kapsamlı şekilde gözden geçirerek, gelecekte uygulanacak müdahaleler için bilimsel bir temel sunmayı amaçlamaktadır.

The Effect of Sedentary Behavior on Cardiovascular and Pulmonary Functions in Office Workers: Narrative Review

Öz

Sedentary behavior is becoming increasingly prevalent among office workers and is characterized by prolonged periods of inactivity, limited postural changes, and low levels of physical activity due to the nature of their work. This lifestyle has detrimental effects on overall health, particularly on the cardiovascular and pulmonary systems. Epidemiological and experimental studies have shown that prolonged sitting is associated with endothelial dysfunction, arterial stiffness, impaired glucose and lipid metabolism, reduced pulmonary capacity, obesity, mental health issues, increased risk of certain types of cancer, musculoskeletal disorders, and may account for approximately 7% of all-cause premature mortality. Understanding the health impacts of sedentary behavior is critical for developing ergonomic adjustments and behavioral interventions in the office environment, reducing workers’ daily sitting time, and promoting light-to-moderate intensity physical activity. This study aims to comprehensively review the relationship between prolonged sitting and cardiovascular and pulmonary functions in office workers, providing a scientific basis for future interventions.
