- Bancakes 5y agoNo, being sedentary also raises your chances.
- tester34 5y agowell, not working != not doing anything :P
- dheera 5y agoNo. Citation?
- tester34 5y agoI think not working at all could affect your mental health if you didnt have decent substitute
- Atlantium 5y agoThere are two extremes here. One extreme is excessive work while the other is no work. In between the two lies a range of working hours which is tolerable to humans.
- HPsquared 5y agoMy heuristic is that most health issues are non-linear with a "healthy middle ground". Not everything has a healthy middle ground though - work could be like radiation exposure (linear no threshold model). That's probably more for "work-related toxicity", both mental and physical, rather than work itself.
