Did you know that having a sedentary lifestyle could be more deadly than smoking tobacco?

It may seem hard to believe but staying still and being inactive can cause more health problems than smoking cigarettes. About 50,000 premature deaths per year in France can be linked back to having an inactive lifestyle¹, compared to 45,000 deaths every year because of tobacco². 

Being inactive can be the cause of many chronic diseases. By not getting regular exercise, you raise your risk of cardiac disease, stroke, diabetes and high blood pressure, to name just a few conditions.

And this can be a major problem for employers. Not only are these conditions likely to cause your people to be unwell and miss time off work, these are some of the most costly in terms of medical claims, too. 

But the good news is, there’s a way to mitigate this. 

Join our experts on Tuesday 6 June 2023 from 8:30 to 11:00 at Chateauform City in Paris, to find out more about the problems caused by inactivity and how multinationals can help keep their people active.
