Even with good posture and taking breaks from the computer, Alex could still be at risk for the following computer-related health problems:

  • musculoskeletal problems: Even with good posture, prolonged sitting and repetitive movements can still lead to discomfort or strain in muscles and joints.
  • vision problems: Extended screen time can lead to digital eye strain or computer vision syndrome, causing discomfort and vision-related issues.
  • headaches: Eye strain, tension in muscles, or poor ergonomics can contribute to headaches, even if posture is good.

However, he may mitigate sleep problems by staying off the computer after 6 p.m., so this option is less likely to be a risk for him.

Thus, the correct answers are:

  • musculoskeletal problems
  • vision problems
  • headaches
Choose 1

If I have to choose only one option, the best choice would be:

  • vision problems

This is because extended screen time is a common contributor to digital eye strain, regardless of posture and other preventative measures.

I mean 2

Got it! If you need to select two options, the best choices would be:

  • musculoskeletal problems
  • vision problems

These two health issues are common risks associated with prolonged computer use, even when posture is maintained and muscles are relaxed.
