Data Analysis
Sedentary Lifestyle Health Concerns The ability of a company’s wellness program to mitigate the sedentary lifestyle health concerns will be dependent understanding the types of health concerns employees will potentially experience due to a sedentary lifestyle at work. Understanding the type of health concerns a sedentary office position may impose on an employee would drive the required types of activities and company support to participate in these activities to reduce or mitigate the impact of sedentary disease. This section of the data analysis will be focused on the type of health concerns and the impact of a sedentary health concern has on the employee in an office environment.

In Table 3, the summation of eighteen quantitative statistically relevant studies focused on analysis of the health outcomes relate to the measureable amount of sedentary time. Studies were not considered for the meta-analysis if inactivity was reported as sedentary behavior as opposed to the actual measurement of sedentary time. The eighteen relevant studies exhibited characteristics of cross-sectional and prospective cohort studies inclusive of a meta-analysis. As outlined by Wilmont et al. (2012) meta-analysis, ‘their association between health concerns and the amount of sedentary time was adjusted for baseline event rate and their reference group was to be the lowest sedentary time group’. The hazard risk (HR) and the relative risk (RR) greater than 1 suggest high sedentary time is harmful to the health of an individual and increases their potential for diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular mortality, and all-cause mortality. (Wilmont et al., 2012) 95% Confidence Interval (CI) is indicated by the solid lines and estimates HR/RR. 95% Credible Interval (CrI) is illustrated by the dotted lines indicating ‘shrunken’ study-specific estimates. 95% CI/CrI marked by diamonds indicate the pooled and predictive HR/RR. Wilmont et al. (2012) study derived a strong correlation through the meta-analysis of the eighteen studies as illustrated in Table 3. This meta-analysis authenticates a substantial, rational, and consonant association between sedentary time and diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cardiovascular mortality, and all-morality; the hazard risk (HR) and the relative risk (RR) as the values were greater than 1 for all eighteen studies indicating being highly sedentary is harmful to individuals. Of the four areas evaluated in this meta-analysis predictive effect and interval, sedentary time had the strongest association and consistency with promoting diabetes as a negative health outcome.
