A less active lifestyle is a type of lifestyle with little or no physical activity. Someone who lives a lifestyle often sits down or lies while doing activities such as reading, socializing, watching television, playing video games, or using a cell phone/computer most of the day. An inactive lifestyle has the potential to contribute to poor health and many preventable causes of death.
Display time is the modern term for the amount of time a person spends on a screen like a television, computer monitor, or mobile device. Excessive screen time is associated with negative health consequences.

Histori
The term couch potato was created by a friend of the underground comic artist Robert Armstrong in the 1970s; Armstrong featured a group of couch potatoes in a series of comics featuring sedentary characters and with Jack Mingo and Allan Dodge creating a satirical organization supposedly to watch television as a form of meditation. With two books and endless promotions throughout the 1980s, Potato Sofa appeared in hundreds of newspapers, magazines, and broadcasts, spreading the message "turn on, tune, flood", gather 7,000 members, and popularize the term.
Conditions, which precede the term, are characterized by sitting or inactive for most of the day with little or no exercise.
Lack of exercise causes muscle atrophy, ie shrinking and weakening of the muscles, and therefore increasing susceptibility to physical injury. In addition, physical fitness is correlated with the functioning of the immune system; decreased physical fitness is generally accompanied by a weakened immune system. An overview of Nature Review Cardiology shows that because illness or injury is associated with prolonged periods of rest, such maladjustment becomes physiologically associated with a metabolism that survives and stress-related responses such as inflammation that helps recovery during illness and injury but which due to not adapt during health now lead to chronic illness.
Despite the well-known benefits of physical activity, many adults and many children live a relatively inactive and inactive lifestyle to achieve these health benefits.
In the United States National Health Interview Survey 2008 (NHIS), 36% of adults were considered inactive. 59% of adult respondents never participated in strong physical activity lasting more than 10 minutes per week.

Health effects
Lack of physical activity is one of the major causes of preventable death worldwide.
Sitting quiet can cause premature death. The risk is higher among those who sit more than 5 hours per day. This proved to be an independent risk factor for hard training and BMI. The more, the higher the risk of chronic disease. People sitting more than 4 hours per day have a 40 percent higher risk than those who sit less than 4 hours per day. However, those who exercise at least 4 hours per week are as healthy as those who sit less than 4 hours per day.
Inactive lifestyles and lack of physical activity may contribute or become risk factors for:
- Anxiety
- Cardiovascular disease
- Migrants
- Breast cancer
- Colon cancer
- Computer vision syndrome is only for computers and tablets
- Depression
- Diabetes
- Gout
- High blood pressure
- Lipid disorders
- Skin problems such as hair loss
- Mortality in adults
- Obesity
- Osteoporosis
- Scoliosis
- Disk disc herniation (Lower back pain)
Solution
In response to health and environmental concerns, some organizations have promoted active travel, which seeks to promote walking and cycling as a safe and attractive alternative to motorized transportation. In addition, some organizations have implemented exercise classes during lunch, challenges running among colleagues, or allowing employees to stand rather than sit at their desk during the work day. Workplace interventions such as alternative activity workstations, desk stands, promotion of stair use are among the measures implemented to address the dangers of a permanent workplace environment. A Cochrane systematic review published in 2016 concludes that "there is currently very low quality evidence that desks can reduce sitting in the workplace in the short term.No evidence for other types of intervention." Also, less evidence on the long-term health benefits of such interventions. Similarly, a recently published review concludes that interventions aimed at reducing off-the-job seating are only marginally effective. Organizations can also offer cholesterol or blood pressure checks to employees.
