Many assume that the office work is the safest and most convenient job. Nevertheless, you must know that office workers are still exposed to the risks of no less dangerous diseases than those of the field workers.

So, as the awareness campaign on healthy life and early detection, particularly for the office workers, Prodia held a community and media gathering along with Mari Kita Sehat Community, which is active in social media. All participants attending this event are the winners of the group photo competition held by Prodia on Instagram and some mass media representatives.

The event series began with free on-site medical check-up for all participants. The next was the talk show entitled &ldquo The 8 Occupational Diseases of the Office Workers' by Dr. Rekian N.S.

"The 8 occupational diseases are stress, indigestion, eyestrain (too much looking at a computer screen, more than 3 hours a day), backache, urinary tract infection due to holding urination and a little intake of water, hypertension, upper respiratory tract infection, and carpal tunnel syndrome or known as finger soreness due to continuous typing," stated Dr. Rekian N.S.

From the report of Prodia, it is also known that most old-aged people have hypertension. Meanwhile, it is more often that the youth have upper respiratory tract infection or eyestrain.

To keep away from these 8 diseases, Dr. Rekian gave some advice and solutions. One of the ways is by being committed to healthy lifestyle, e.g. by increasing your activities within the workplace, and having good time management to reduce stress. "The risk emerges within the workers due to the absence of self-awareness and good time management," added Dr. Rekian.

Last but not least, it is important to choose the right place for the early detection of the triggering factors and the illness complaints. "We do realize that the early customer care to avoid the more complicated diseases is necessary, don't let the undesirable things occur in the future," added Reskia Dwi Lestari, the Marketing Communication Manager of PT Prodia Widyahusada.

"It turns out that a one-day experience in the workplaces contains many risks. The risks are not only those working in mines or field, we just don't realize it," said Reskia at Penang Bistro Kelapa Gading, Jakarta, Saturday (15/10/2016).
