Public health workers (PHWs) have experienced substantial workload changes because of their role in managing measures to limit the spread of COVID-19. The study's aim was to assess lifestyle changes in Italian PHWs during the pandemic. PHWs attending an annual meeting completed an anonymous questionnaire assessing their sociodemographic and behavioral characteristics and lifestyle changes during the pandemic. A total of 1000 questionnaires were completed. Most participants (63.5% women, mean age 40 ± 13.1 years) were of normal weight (61.5%), non-smokers (81.9%), had a total screen time of ≥5 h/day (83.1%), and slept at least 6 h/night (88.7%). Approximately one-third consumed sweet foods every day (30%) and did not engage in physical activity (34.6%). Current sweet food consumption, physical activity, and sleep were associated with changes in these behaviors in the last 2 years (Tau-b = 0.155; Tau-b = -0.175; Tau-b = -0.276, respectively, < 0.001). An increase in remote working was associated with worse sleep (odds ratio (OR) 2.065, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.482-2.877) and diet (OR 1.982, 95% CI 1.385-2.838), and increased tablet/PC use (OR 3.314, 95% CI 2.358-4.656). Health promotion measures are needed to support the adoption of healthy lifestyles in this population during the current pandemic.
由于在管理限制新冠病毒传播措施中所起的作用，公共卫生工作者（PHWs）经历了工作量的大幅变化。该研究的目的是评估疫情期间意大利公共卫生工作者的生活方式变化。参加年度会议的公共卫生工作者完成了一份匿名问卷，评估他们的社会人口统计学和行为特征以及疫情期间的生活方式变化。共完成了1000份问卷。大多数参与者（63.5%为女性，平均年龄40±13.1岁）体重正常（61.5%），不吸烟（81.9%），每天总屏幕使用时间≥5小时（83.1%），每晚睡眠至少6小时（88.7%）。约三分之一的人每天食用甜食（30%）且不进行体育活动（34.6%）。当前的甜食消费、体育活动和睡眠与过去两年这些行为的变化相关（Tau-b分别为0.155；Tau-b为 -0.175；Tau-b为 -0.276，均<0.001）。远程工作的增加与更差的睡眠（优势比（OR）2.065，95%置信区间（CI）1.482 - 2.877）和饮食（OR 1.982，95% CI 1.385 - 2.838）以及平板电脑/个人电脑使用增加（OR 3.314，95% CI 2.358 - 4.656）相关。在当前疫情期间，需要采取健康促进措施来支持这一人群采用健康的生活方式。
