A sedentary lifestyle has become a perilous issue with severe health repercussions in the present era. Modern technology has significantly contributed to the sedentary lifestyle of many people, especially employees, with concomitant physical, physiological, and social health risks. Due to a lack of regular exercise, many people now struggle with obesity, diabetes, and hypertension. Therefore, this study examined the sedentary lifestyle, its contributing variables, and its various health consequences. People should actively engage in physical activity, adjust their dietary habits, and avoid health-harming behaviours. Understanding the association between sedentary behaviour and health outcomes and altering this behaviour are crucial for reducing morbidity and mortality rates. The detrimental health effects undeniably escalate as the total daily inactive time increases. The study suggests that workplaces and public spaces should be designed to encourage active and recreational activities.
