Abstract

The lifestyle of the population has undergone significant changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which could have influenced alterations in dietary habits and overall well-being among workers. This study aimed to evaluate healthy eating practices and their relationship with the workers' quality of life and physical activity during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a cross-sectional investigation involving workers in the city of Curitiba, southern Brazil. The study was conducted through the application of an online questionnaire. The data were evaluated using non-parametric tests and fitting a logistic regression model. A total of 123 workers participated in the study, most of them male (53.2%), aged between 31 and 40 years (42.2%), with a predominance of workers with postgraduate degrees (62.6%, n = 77), and the majority of workers (68.2%, n = 84) were performing their professional activities remotely for at least one day during the week, and 73.2% (n = 90). It was observed that 52.8% had excellent healthy eating practices, and the older their age and the greater the practice of physical activity (time and frequency), the better the workers' healthy eating practices. When assessing quality of life, the lowest average score for healthy eating practices was in the domain of social relationships. A direct relationship of older age, social relationships, and the practice of physical activity with the best individuals' healthy eating practices was detected. Considering that remote work continues to be adopted post-pandemic, evaluating the dietary practices, physical activity, and quality of life of workers is necessary to understand this new labour phenomenon.

COVID-19 大流行期间工人的健康饮食习惯及其与体育锻炼和生活质量的关系。
由于 COVID-19 大流行,人们的生活方式发生了重大变化,这可能会影响工人饮食习惯的改变和整体健康。本研究旨在评估 COVID-19 大流行期间工人的健康饮食习惯及其与生活质量和体育锻炼的关系。这是一项横断面调查,涉及巴西南部库里提巴市的工人。研究通过在线问卷进行。采用非参数检验和逻辑回归模型对数据进行了评估。共有 123 名工人参与了研究,其中大多数为男性(53.2%),年龄在 31 岁至 40 岁之间(42.2%),拥有研究生学历的工人占多数(62.6%,n = 77),大多数工人(68.2%,n = 84)在一周内至少有一天通过远程方式从事职业活动,73.2%(n = 90)的工人在一周内至少有一天通过远程方式从事职业活动。据观察,52.8%的工人有良好的健康饮食习惯,年龄越大、体育锻炼越多(时间和频率),工人的健康饮食习惯就越好。在评估生活质量时,健康饮食习惯的平均得分最低的领域是社会关系。年龄、社会关系和体育锻炼与最佳个人健康饮食习惯之间存在直接关系。考虑到大流行后远程工作继续被采用,评估工人的饮食习惯、体育锻炼和生活质量对了解这种新的劳动现象很有必要。
