Office staff battling weight, fatty livers

While white-collar workers in Shanghai are paying more attention to their health, they have failed to manage it effectively, according to a report released on Wednesday.

The report, jointly released by Shanghai Foreign Service (Group) Co and Popular Medicine magazine, was based on the health records of 350,000 office workers in the city and more than 1,250 interviews.

While the report showed a slight increase among the interviewees in health management awareness and behavior from the previous year, more than 97 percent of white-collar workers were found to have health problems during checkups last year, up from 94 percent in 2013.
