Aim: The main purpose of the study was to analyze the sedentary lifestyle of different age groups and its related diseases in Raipur, Bilaspur, Bhilai, Durg, and Raigarh. The study focused on the linkage between the health status and sedentary lifestyle of people working in cities.

Method: The survey of the subjects was conducted in a phased manner using questionnaires, personal interviews, and telephonic interviews, depending on the convenience of the subjects and their availability. Initially, 1000 subjects were given the questionnaire, and within a fortnight, 790 subjects returned their filled questionnaires. The remaining subjects were persuaded to provide feedback within a week. The researcher received 80 more completed questionnaires from the subjects. Sixty subjects expressed their inability to fill out the questionnaire due to their hectic schedules or other reasons. Later, 28 subjects were interviewed telephonically, and 32 subjects were interviewed personally at their offices or homes, depending on the appointments given by them.

Statistical Technique: The information obtained from the responses to the questionnaire was carefully and systematically compiled for data analysis. The percentage analysis of frequencies of each statement was calculated for sedentary people.
