Shanghai workers in declining health

Lack of exercise, fatty diets and stress are to blame, report says

About 94 percent of white-collar workers in Shanghai suffer from health problems, a 12 percentage points rise from five years ago, according to a health report released by the Shanghai Foreign Service Co on Thursday.

The report was based on health statistics from more than 400,000 white-collar workers who had medical examinations between 2009 and 2013 through the company, which specialises in human resources services.
