Or in other words , women are 42 percent more likely to take time off work because of illness . Similarly, according to data from the Office for National Statistics The UK . Analysts find that the data after removing the entire other factors , including age , profession , scope and magnitude of the office .
Karen Steadman , a researcher at the Work Foundation , said that men are also more likely to force myself to keep working even though they are supposed to rest due to being sick .

In this study , the prevalence of obesity is influenced also by demographics , physical activity levels , smoking , consumption of fruits and vegetables , as well as leisure activities .
This study aimed to estimate the prevalence and risk factors of obesity according to his work at the same time informing someone of priority health programs in the workplace . The research team also analyzed the 28 occupational groups outside the military and construction personnel .
The results found that people who work as truck drivers and other modes of transportation , insurance providers , as well as the cleaning service has the highest obesity risk .
" BMI ( body mass index ) can not distinguish fat mass and tissue . However , workers with higher mobility demands likely to be physically fit and have a higher BMI due to increased muscle mass , " the researchers wrote in their report , as quoted from iVillage , Wednesday ( 02/26/2014 ) .
The study results also showed that the prevalence of obesity in the entire profession was 24.6 percent with a 11.6 percent are at risk of health-care providers such as doctors and health practitioners . Then, 38.6 percent worked as a truck driver .
Workers who smoke also have lower obesity prevalence than nonsmokers workers . Although , the proportion of smokers is highest in the lowest truckers and the health care provider . Even so , researchers warn that obesity can also be pressed regardless of the type of work you through the implementation of a healthy lifestyle .

More elderly are more at risk Clothing Sitting Disabilities


Jakarta , more advanced age , the desire to sit around relaxing day will be even greater . Common practice that is not a good habit . Because according to a study , one additional hour to be seated turns doubles the risk of disability in the elderly .
In men or women over the age of 60 , each additional hour spent sitting increases the risk of disability . That was a disappointment , exercise will not be able to protect one of the hidden dangers posed prolonged sitting habits . So says a new study of the studies .
In the study , scientists looked at data sample of 2,286 elderly people aged 60 or older . The data comes from a national survey of Americans , the U.S. National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey . The participants are elderly who have high levels of health , medium activity , and the activity of the same weight .
Participants were asked to wear accelerometers as from 2002 to 2005 to measure their activity . How much time spent sitting , to undertake moderate physical activity , and weight . Similarly, a report in the Journal of Physical Activity & Health .
This study is the first study to show that the lack of movement is one of the risk factors that can lead to disability , regardless of the lack of exercise . In fact , inertia is a risk factor that is as strong as lack of exercise .
" This is the first time we show that the habit of silence associated with increased risk of disability , regardless of how much moderate exercise is done , " said Dorothy Dunlop , associate professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine .
" And silence is not a synonym of less physical activity , " he added .
If there are two 65-year -old woman , one of them did not move for 12 hours and the other for 13 hours in a day , the second woman at risk of 50 % to persons with disabilities . Restrict a person's disability is known to relieve oneself , carrying , or lifting something .
The risk of disability increases with age . The risk was 6 % in childhood , 16 % in adults of working age , and 45 % at retirement .
In fact , there is evidence to suggest that too much sitting may be a new risk factor causes premature death and disease . Professor Dunlop was surprised to find the results of the discovery.
" It means that older adults should reduce the time spent sitting , either in front of the television or at the computer , regardless of their participation in moderate or strenuous activity , " he said as quoted by the Daily Mail , Wednesday ( 26/2 / 2014 ) .
However, because the study does is examine the data at a particular time span , can not immediately conclude that the habit of sitting around cause disability . It's just a habit that is a potential trigger .
Research Dunlop strengthens some previous studies related to the habit of sitting . A previous study showed an association between habitual sitting with disabilities , but the study was only based on personal reports and can not be verified .
Another study found that watching television for 6 hours in a day can shorten the life of up to five years when compared with those who never watch television . People who sit for longer also have a larger waist size , cholesterol levels , blood sugar levels , and higher triglyceride levels .

Jakarta , after undergoing cancer surgery usually there will be side effects that accompany the sufferer , for example impotence in men . But the cancer surgery that has failed to make this guy even forgot how to make love .
In 2003 , Richard Bandy asked to prepare for surgery . Bandy and his wife , Sonya Lea had already anticipated the possibility of such Bandy died or activity they may not sesemarak bed first because Bandy may experience impotence . Lea Bandy allow even looking for a new husband or lover .
But who would have thought , who lived Bandy cancer surgery has failed and he suffered internal bleeding which led to brain injury . 10 years since the operation took place , physically Bandy could have sex , but he no longer Bandy once .
As a writer , Lea also shed uneg - unegnya in an article titled " How My Husband Forgot Sex " . There, the woman who is now 54-year -old tells that Bandy short term memory loss and long-term because of the operation . Even Bandy not remember the intimacy in which they live for many years of marriage .
" The man who first taught me how to explore ( in intimate relationships ) has become a stranger. Three years after the brain injury , it is almost impossible to ask what he wants or start a conversation , or remembering how my body respond ( touch ) , " Lea wrote as reported by ABC News, Tuesday ( 02/25/2014 ) .
According to Dr. Paul Sugarbaker , director of the Center for Gastrointestinal malignancies , MedStar Washington Hospital Center , USA , Bandy suffered a rare cancer called pseudomyxoma peritonei ( PMP ) , which only affects about 5,000 people in the U.S. alone .
PMP arises because of the presence of polyps in the appendix ruptured and spread of tumor cells into mucus -producing parts of the stomach . " It is usually fatal , although now we can cure 80 percent of patients with a new type of operation , " explained Sugarbaker . Bandy unfortunately not addressed by this doctor .
The standard treatment for PMP is hyperthermic intraperitoneal chemotherapy alone ( HIPEC ) , chemotherapy with high concentrations of chemicals are directly routed to the abdomen during the operation . But sometimes , a kind of high -dose chemotherapeutic agents can indeed lead to serious complications that lead to bleeding in the brain or a stroke .
Sugarbaker also said the worst possible thing might happen to Bandy . Since there are such cases , Sugarbaker also discontinue use of the chemo drugs in the hospital where he practiced .
According to Lea , in the case of Bandy , his brain deprived of oxygen during a critical period after 32 ounces of blood flooded his stomach when the operation took place . His own family has filed a malpractice lawsuit to the hospital who operated Bandy .
But one thing that is felt directly by Leah is about how Bandy no longer remember how they have sex , despite having been together since high school .

However, the two couples are determined to restore their romance , somehow. One of the challenges is the need to take the initiative now Leah first. When they were dating , for example , Lealah who prepares all the topics of conversation. " Because he could not start it ( the conversation ) naturally , " he said .
Especially in bed , Lea also needs to be more masculine and moved first to start their sexual activity , for example by saying what he wants . For two years they also try to visit a number of countries such as France and India to be closer .
" And now sex feels so much better because of the trips we did together , " said Lea .
