From sallow skin due to lack of sunlight to a hunched back from working at home: Terrifying visual reveals how the average person could look in just five years if routines picked up in lockdown become the norm

  • Researchers used data on changes to lifestyle and habits caused by lockdown
  • This includes people working from home and getting much less exercise
  • They found people were also more stressed and getting a lot less sunlight
  • This will lead to people becoming obese, having sallow skin and a hunch back
  • Doctors suggest those working from home take regular breaks, don't work from the sofa and get up to take regular physical exercise throughout the day 

The average person working from home long term could end up with sallow skin and a hunched back, according to a new study revealed through a terrifying visual.

LloydsPharmacy doctors predict that in just five years time, the average person's skin will become sallow from a lack of sunlight, they'll gain weight from a lack of exercise and develop a hunch from poor posture.

The team of experts have warned these could be the lasting impacts of habits established a a result of the pandemic on our long-term health.

The hard-hitting visual shows a hunched woman with poor posture, who has gained weight and developed sallow skin, deteriorating eyesight, hair loss, and ground-down teeth from grinding in her sleep. 

It was created in response to research that highlighted the detrimental impact 'lockdown lifestyle changes', including working from home, had on overall health.

Doctors haven't said working from home is bad, rather that people should avoid working from their bed or sofa, and get up regularly for short activity breaks.

The effects of lockdown on the human body 

According to the study, lockdown has had a number of worrying impacts on the human body:

1. Weight gain

Two-fifths of British adults have gained weight since lockdown began, with the average gaining nearly a stone.

This is due to leading more sedentary lives, getting out to exercise or even walk less than before Covid-19 hit.

2. Posture

People working from home are using the sofa, kitchen table or even their bedrooms as make-shift offices. 

This leads to them hunched over their computer, staring at the screen in a variety of unusual positions.

3. Sleep

A significant number of people in the UK have experienced changes to their sleep patterns since lockdown.

Nearly two-thirds say their sleep has been worse, and it is due in part to inactivity and increased stress.

4. Lack of vitamin D

The struggles of working from home, juggling home-schooling and managing that all important work-life balance means many people are spending less time outside. 

This could result in reduced sunlight exposure, making it more difficult to get enough vitamin D. 

It is required for helping keep bones, teeth and muscles healthy and supporting the immune function.

5. Stress and anxiety

Since the start of the pandemic, stress and anxiety levels have significantly increased across all age groups. 

This has been caused by a range of factors from health concerns and daily news reports, to worries about job security and even the impact of lockdown restrictions easing.  

6. Sexual performance 

When it comes to sexual health and wellbeing, the impact of lockdown has been significant. 

A survey revealed 1 in 3 women frequently worry about their libido and its impact on their sex lives. 

Stress was found to be one of the biggest barriers to healthy intimate relations.
