Rapid changes in Thailand's nutrition and lifestyles have led to increasing diet-related pathologies among people with sedentary occupations. This study examines the extent to which the dietary intake of nutrients and energy by a sample of Thai sedentary workers conforms to the Thai Dietary Reference Intakes (Thai DRIs). The nutrients and energy intake estimates were based on self-reported information collected with a single 24-hour dietary recall and nonweighed 2-day food record. The study participants were Thai adults aged 20-50 years employed in sedentary occupations. A convenience sample of 215 healthy individuals (75 males and 140 females) was based on four randomly selected worksites in the Bangkok metropolitan area. For male participants, the study found a median energy intake of 1,485 kcal/day, with 54.4% of energy coming from carbohydrate, 15.9% from protein, and 29.6% from fat. Females' median energy intake was 1,428 kcal/day, 56% of which came from carbohydrate, 16.2% from protein, and 28.6% from fat. Both genders showed insufficient intake of fiber and most micronutrients. This study provides the material for preventive public health interventions focusing on nutrition-related diseases affecting Thailand's rapidly growing sedentary workforce.
泰国营养和生活方式的迅速变化导致从事久坐职业的人群中与饮食相关的病症日益增多。本研究调查了泰国久坐工作者样本的营养素和能量膳食摄入量符合泰国膳食参考摄入量（泰国DRIs）的程度。营养素和能量摄入量的估计基于通过单次24小时膳食回顾和非称重2天食物记录收集的自我报告信息。研究参与者为年龄在20至50岁之间、从事久坐职业的泰国成年人。基于曼谷都会区四个随机选择的工作场所，选取了215名健康个体（75名男性和140名女性）作为便利样本。对于男性参与者，研究发现其能量摄入量中位数为1485千卡/天，其中54.4%的能量来自碳水化合物，15.9%来自蛋白质，29.6%来自脂肪。女性的能量摄入量中位数为1428千卡/天，其中56%来自碳水化合物，16.2%来自蛋白质，28.6%来自脂肪。男女两性均表现出膳食纤维和大多数微量营养素摄入不足。本研究为针对影响泰国迅速增长的久坐劳动力的营养相关疾病的预防性公共卫生干预提供了素材。
