Insulin Resistance Workplace

Meaning

Insulin Resistance Workplace refers to the occupational setting where environmental and behavioral factors are recognized as contributors to the development or exacerbation of systemic insulin resistance among employees. This concept highlights the role of prolonged sedentary behavior, chronic job-related stress leading to HPA axis dysregulation and cortisol elevation, and poor access to healthy nutrition options in driving metabolic dysfunction. It positions the workplace as a critical, modifiable determinant of metabolic health and chronic disease risk.
