There has been increasing interest in dietary health promotion in the workplace. Although many previous studies have focused on dietary habits in specific occupations, variation between occupational groups requires clarification. The present study aimed to examine differences in food and nutrient intake between occupational groups, using detailed classification. A cross-sectional study was conducted using data from the Japan Environment and Children's Study. The study included 38,721 employed Japanese expectant fathers aged between 20 and 65 years. Dietary intake was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Occupations were categorized into 11 categories according to the Japan Standard Occupational Classification. Analysis of variance and analysis of covariance were performed to compare dietary intake of occupational groups. Logistic regression analysis was performed to examine the differences in adherence to dietary recommendations across occupations. Dietary intake differed significantly between occupations. Specific dietary intake was observed in security and agricultural workers, who tended to exhibit higher consumption levels for numerous foods and nutrients. In addition, relative to other workers, security workers showed higher intake of dairy products and calcium, and agricultural workers consumed larger amounts of pickles and salt. The study categorized occupations into detailed categories using the Japan Standard Occupational Classification, which facilitated the clarification of overall dietary trends across occupations and identification of specific dietary characteristics in individual occupations. The findings could aid in workplace health promotion.
职场中对通过饮食促进健康的关注度日益提高。尽管此前许多研究聚焦于特定职业的饮食习惯，但职业群体之间的差异仍需厘清。本研究旨在通过详细分类，探讨职业群体在食物和营养素摄入方面的差异。利用日本环境与儿童研究的数据进行了一项横断面研究。该研究纳入了38721名年龄在20至65岁之间的在职日本准父亲。通过食物频率问卷评估饮食摄入量。根据日本标准职业分类，职业被分为11类。采用方差分析和协方差分析比较职业群体的饮食摄入量。进行逻辑回归分析以检验不同职业在遵循饮食建议方面的差异。不同职业的饮食摄入量存在显著差异。保安和农业工人有特定的饮食摄入情况，他们往往对多种食物和营养素的消费量较高。此外，相对于其他工人，保安摄入的乳制品和钙更多，农业工人食用的泡菜和盐量更大。该研究使用日本标准职业分类将职业细分为详细类别，这有助于厘清各职业的总体饮食趋势，并识别个别职业的特定饮食特征。这些发现有助于促进职场健康。
