Is Working Remotely Bad for Your Health?
Imagine rolling out of bed in the morning and, rather than racing to get out the door and into morning traffic, you could go for a run or make yourself breakfast. It’s the kind of daydream every chained-to-his-desk office worker has now and then. And for many, that daydream has become a reality.

Authors: Habicht T, Reinap M, Kasekamp K, Sikkut R, Aaben L, van Ginneken E
Abstract
