The emerging lifestyle disorders

The emerging lifestyles have not only affected the economic conditions of the individuals but as well as the productivity of the economy which is going to be threatened tremendously in the near future. Lifestyle is the way a person or a group of individuals live. These characterise the way an individuals lives and the daily habits and activities, and also the relationship of the individual with the environment in which one lives.

The inappropriate lifestyle leads to the lifestyle disorders such s those of hypertension, heart diseases, heart strokes, diabetes, obesity, cancer, bronchitis among several other. These are also known as the diseases of the civilisation or the diseases of the longevity. There is an increase in the number of such disorders due to increased industrialisation. The factors that result into these disorders are food habits,, wrong body posture and movements, physical inactivity, disturbed biological clocks, etc. The occupational diseases are seeing a huge growth in the country as there have been drastic changes in the working sector such as IT which neglects the physical activities of the individuals, which ultimately led to the changes in the food habits of the individuals which led to the increase in lifestyle disorders throughout the country. 

Several studies throughout the country have shown the rising figures in terms of lifestyle impact on both men and women. The tensed and continued working environment has led to these occupational disorders. These have led to the disturbances in the family and living conditions. It is predicted that the deaths from the non- communicable diseases shall increase manifold due to the increase in the number of occupational disorders throughout the world in the developing and developed countries. These conditions not only lead to the human sufferings, they pose a huge threat to the economy of the country as well. This leads to large losses incurred by the economy of the country. The transition of the state to the era of the lifestyle diseases is largely driven by the economic growth, urbanisation and the changing food habits. 

Sleeping disorders are alarmingly growing due to the increase in the employment sector in the corporate sector. Due to the high demanding work schedules, there is an increase in the stress levels of the individuals due to the work pressure and this has led to the modifications in the occupational morbidity, mortality and injury risks which hugely affect the workplace in terms of absence disability, productivity and the health costs. In relation to India, its rapid growth is slowed by the increase in the number of heart diseases, strokes, diabetes where IT sector is the worst hit. 

A healthy lifestyle must be adopted in order to combat these disorders with proper diet considerations and physical activities, keeping in mind the biological clock.
