As a programmer I don't really agree with this article as I was practically working remote even when I was in the office, but I also can't deny that my knees have been getting progressively more achy. Likely because I am sitting for longer periods than if I were in the office. And sporadic back pain, but I also sleep on my stomach and that puts all kinds of strain and compression on joints over time.
I guess can see that a switch to WFH for non-tech employees could be stressful, but honestly I'm way less stressed than when going into the office.
Also I have no idea how the researchers came up with the 10-15 years that working from home has aged our bodies. Maybe that is talking about people that were previously used to walking around more in the office?

In my experience, most single person only interviews are done by someone who is probably not capable of giving a good enough explanation. And multi round interviews with several current employees would require a lot of extra work they simply don't have time for.
This also gives the current employer the benefit of doing nothing preemptively. It puts the onus on the employee to go through all this extra effort just to get the match. I'm sure plenty of employees take it too but shouldn't.
