Summary:
Currently, there is an increase in alimentary-dependent diseases in the world, which is directly related to the nutritional factor. The actual nutrition of modern workers with very low and low physical activity is characterized by an excessive level of energy consumption due to saturated fats and added sugar, as well as a deficiency in the intake of a number of micronutrients.
The purpose of the study is a hygienic assessment of the actual nutrition of office workers.
Materials and methods. The analysis of the actual nutrition of a group of office workers in the number of 347 people (136 men (39%), 211 women (61%)) was carried out, the average age of the group was 44.21±0.32 years. By the nature of their work, employees of this professional group were mainly classified as very low physical activity (CFA – 1,4). The assessment of actual nutrition was carried out by the frequency method with a quantitative assessment of the consumed food products, as well as by the method of 24-hour reproduction of the diet, the nutrient profile of the diet was studied using the Nutri-prof software package (version 2.9).
The results and their discussion. In the studied group of office workers, especially among women, excessive consumption of sugar and confectionery products (28.4±3.7 g/day) was revealed, a shortage of consumption of potatoes (74.6±11.4 g/day), vegetables and melons (162.7±13.6 g/day), fruits and berries (108.8±11.7 g/day), fish and seafood (17.1±2.5 g/day), eggs (23.7±2.1 g/day), meat and meat products (144.2±19.1 g/day), milk and dairy products (156.2±17.9 g/day). In 83% of women and 33.7% of men, the level of energy consumption exceeded the recommended range, only 77% of men and 63% of women were provided with protein in accordance with the recommended values, the absolute number of workers of both sexes consumed fats at a level above the recommended values, the contribution of macronutrients to the total caloric content of the diet also did not correspond to the recommended values. A number of workers have been found to have a combined deficiency in the intake of vitamins A, B1, C, and niacin.
Conclusion. Modern data on the high risks of the formation of alimentary-dependent morbidity among a group of office workers have been obtained. It is shown that it is necessary to implement a set of preventive measures aimed at normalizing diets, including additional provision of vitamin and mineral complexes to the body, as well as increasing physical activity.
