During the study 150 techies in Bangalore and Chennai were investigated. The initial findings indicated that majority of them had cervical problems and lumbar problems. Many suffered from back pain and neck pain. The most common problem among them was chronic fatigue.

Insomnia, migraine, infertility and obesity (which could lead to diabetes) were the other ailments that were noticed during the study. Diabetes and heart diseases are rampant among other communities also but IT professionals are more vulnerable to these diseases because of their sedentary lifestyle.

Dr. L. mahadevan, an ayurvedic consultant says "Infections can be treated. But chronic diseases like these can be avoided only through changes in lifestyle. Whatever diseases people generally suffer from between 55 and 60, IT professionals get by the age of 45."

Taking into consideration the findings of the study doctors have suggested meditation, suryanamaskar, regular exercises, quarterly detoxification program, low-calorie and high-fibre foods and consumption of at least three liters of water daily. The doctors are of the opinion that doing stretching exercises after every hour during work will prove to be helpful.
