To explore the impact of changing work arrangements during COVID-19 on diet, physical activity, body weight, and sleep of Qatar's working population.
A web-based survey targeting working adults who were residing in Qatar during the period of home confinement was conducted.
About 47% of 1061 participants reported weight gain. Higher proportions of participants reported consuming more fatty foods (P = 0.007), more sugary foods (P = 0.001), and greater increase in screen and sitting/reclining times (P < 0.001) among the work from home (WFH) group. Participants with higher adverse dietary changes score were more likely to report weight gain in both the WFH (adjusted OR 1.38, 95% CI 1.28 to 1.49), and working regularly groups (adjusted OR, 1.31, 95% CI 1.20 to 1.43) with P < 0.001.
Qatar's working population experienced adverse lifestyle changes which were more prominent among those who shifted to WFH.
探讨 COVID-19 期间工作安排变化对卡塔尔工作人群饮食、身体活动、体重和睡眠的影响。
对居家隔离期间居住在卡塔尔的成年工作者进行了一项基于网络的调查。
在 1061 名参与者中,约有 47%的人报告体重增加。与定期工作的人群相比,更多在家办公(WFH)的参与者报告食用更多的高脂肪食物(P=0.007)、更多的高糖食物(P=0.001),并且屏幕使用时间和坐姿/斜躺时间增加更多(P<0.001)。在 WFH 组(调整后的 OR 1.38,95% CI 1.28 至 1.49)和定期工作组(调整后的 OR,1.31,95% CI 1.20 至 1.43)中,饮食变化不良评分较高的参与者更有可能报告体重增加,P<0.001。
卡塔尔的工作人群经历了不良的生活方式变化,其中那些转为在家办公的人群更为明显。
