Long-haul truck drivers (LHTD) experience disproportionately greater chronic disease risk, which may be influenced by both occupational and lifestyle factors. This study aimed to explore the multilevel factors associated with LHTD's diet and physical activity (PA).
Thirty in-depth interviews were conducted with LHTD in the Southern California border region. Interview questions captured occupational and lifestyle factors relating to PA and diet at multiple levels and were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Emergent themes relating to both diet and PA included time constraints, attitudes and perceived beliefs, and accessibility of environments to engage in PA and healthy eating. Themes specific to PA were weather conditions and flatbed job duties. Themes specific to diet included access to refrigerators/microwaves and social interactions.
Findings from this study can inform the development of tailored, multi-level interventions to encourage PA and healthy dietary behaviors among LHTD.
长途卡车司机患慢性病的风险 disproportionately 更高，这可能受到职业和生活方式因素的影响。本研究旨在探讨与长途卡车司机饮食和身体活动（PA）相关的多层次因素。
对南加州边境地区的长途卡车司机进行了 30 次深入访谈。访谈问题涵盖了与 PA 和饮食相关的职业和生活方式因素的多个层面，并采用主题分析法进行分析。
与饮食和 PA 相关的新出现主题包括时间限制、态度和感知信念，以及进行 PA 和健康饮食的环境可达性。PA 特有的主题是天气条件和平板工作职责。饮食特有的主题包括使用冰箱/微波炉的机会和社交互动。
本研究结果可为制定针对性的多层次干预措施提供参考，以鼓励长途卡车司机进行 PA 和养成健康的饮食行为。
