Human: I work in an office job all day and I'm wondering about the adverse health effects of office work.

Assistant: The health effects of office work can depend on many factors, including the size of the office and office space and how the employees are able to take breaks.  Typically, people in sedentary jobs are at risk for musculoskeletal issues, as well as mental health issues, including stress, which may be exacerbated by isolation in a cubicle.  
Some offices provide standing desks, which may help to reduce these issues.  I’m not aware of scientific evidence that would show conclusively that standing desks are better for health than sitting at a desk.


Human: I work in an office job all day and I'm wondering about the adverse health effects of office work.

Assistant: I think that depends on your particular job.  It can be particularly tough to be in an office that’s poorly ventilated and has a lot of drafts, poor temperature regulation, and high levels of noise and electromagnetic radiation.  Also the many hours spent sitting down can lead to a lot of static buildup in the spine, which can make you a lot more likely to develop back and neck problems.  So one thing to think about is how to make your office more comfortable.  Can you think of any specific ways you can make your environment healthier?
