Remote and Hybrid Work and Sedentary Behaviour Among Working Adults: A Scoping Review of Behavioural Evidence and Cardiometabolic Research Gaps
Background: Remote and hybrid work arrangements may improve autonomy and reduce commuting, but may also reduce routine movement and promote prolonged sitting. Evidence on sedentary behavior in these settings has expanded, whereas direct evidence on cardiometabolic outcomes remains limited. Objective: To map behavioral evidence on sedentary exposure in remote and hybrid work, describe its measurement and distribution across work arrangements, and characterize cardiometabolic outcomes as an evidence gap. Methods: We …
