The study aimed to evaluate lifestyle factors among Information Technology (IT) workers from Romania before and during the pandemic. We used an online applied questionnaire, filled in by 1638 respondents, that assessed nutrition status-Body Mass Index (BMI), weight and diet change, physical activity, alcohol consumption, number of hours working in front of the computer, stress, and sleep. Multivariate logistic regression was used to establish the lifestyle factors that lead to weight gain. Although the level of physical activity (PA) was low before the pandemic, the results of our study showed a further decrease in physical activity. In total, 61.1% of men and 71.1% of women performed PA for less than 30 min per day. Weight gain was reported in 50.5% of men and 45.3% of women (mean weight gain was 5.11 ± 3.52 kg) as a result of increased screen time (with a mean of 3.52 ± 4.29 for females and 3.05 ± 2.09 for males, p > 0.05 h per day) and the reported changes in diet. Despite the popularity of home-cooked foods, the intake of vegetables and fruit remained low. The quality of sleep was poor for 55.7% of the respondents. Public health and corporation policies are required to encourage a healthy lifestyle and avoid chronic diseases.
本研究旨在评估罗马尼亚信息技术 (IT) 工作者在疫情前后的生活方式因素。我们使用了一份在线应用问卷，共 1638 名受访者填写，评估了营养状况-体重指数 (BMI)、体重和饮食变化、身体活动、饮酒量、在电脑前工作的小时数、压力和睡眠。我们采用多变量逻辑回归来确定导致体重增加的生活方式因素。尽管在疫情前身体活动 (PA) 的水平较低，但我们的研究结果显示身体活动进一步减少。总的来说，61.1%的男性和 71.1%的女性每天进行的 PA 活动少于 30 分钟。由于屏幕时间的增加（女性平均为 3.52 ± 4.29 小时，男性为 3.05 ± 2.09 小时，p > 0.05）和饮食变化，报告体重增加的男性为 50.5%，女性为 45.3%（平均体重增加为 5.11 ± 3.52 公斤）。尽管家常菜很受欢迎，但蔬菜和水果的摄入量仍然较低。55.7%的受访者睡眠质量较差。需要公共卫生和公司政策来鼓励健康的生活方式，避免慢性疾病。
