Higher risk of cancer in job employees: Mental stress is common among youth nowadays. Even so, stress is more common among working youth. But it will be surprising to know that the risk of cancer is also increasing among working people. Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) Delhi has stated in its study that one-third of employees are suffering from metabolic syndrome. First of all, what is metabolic syndrome?

What is metabolic syndrome?

Metabolic syndrome is not a disease. But it's a condition found in people under the age of 5 that doubles the risk of cancer by the time they reach age 65, meaning it's the kind of condition that increases the risk of obesity in the body. The condition of high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity and uncontrolled cholesterol is called metabolic syndrome. It also increases the risk of diseases like cancer and stroke in addition to heart diseases.

ICMR conducted a study like this

The National Institute of Nutrition under ICMR conducted the study on youth below 30 years of age working in three major IT companies. The survey revealed that every second employee is overweight or completely obese. 6 out of 10 employees were found to have high HDL (cholesterol) levels, increasing the risk of heart-related diseases. In this study 44.2% of employees were overweight, while 16.85% were obese. Apart from this, 3.89 percent were found to have diabetes and 64.93 percent were found to have high cholesterol levels.

Food and environment and environment responsible

According to this study, young people are mostly employed in sectors like IT and business process outsourcing (BPO), but the food and environment of workplaces make them obese. The study is included in the medical journal MDPI.
