Widespread prevalence of obesity, sedentary lifestyles and poor BMI are a cause of concern for employee health
-
Fitterfly, a health-tech startup working in the field of digital health and therapeutics, released a study revealing the prevalence of pre-diabetes risks in Corporate India. The study analyzed data of around 2020 (1384 males, 636 females) participants from leading corporates.
About 72.9% of the participants had a BMI of over 23 kg/m2 which puts them in the obese or overweight category. These people have 1.9x higher risk of pre-diabetes than those with a BMI lower than 23kg/ m2. Mid to senior management employees (age 40 years and above) are at a significantly 1.4fold higher risk of prediabetes than people with age less than 40 years. Overall, 272 participants were found to be at high-risk, 1296 at medium-risk, and the remaining 452 at low-risk of diabetes.
