Resumo

Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre o hábito de pular o café da manhã e o excesso de peso entre profissionais de saúde de um hospital peruano durante o ano de 2022.

Materiais e Métodos: Realizou-se um estudo primário, observacional e transversal, utilizando amostragem probabilística aleatória simples. O ato de pular o café da manhã foi definido como consumir essa refeição em três dias ou menos por semana. O excesso de peso foi determinado por um Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) ≥25 kg/m². Modelos de regressão de Poisson bruta e ajustada foram aplicados para estimar a associação, considerando possíveis fatores de confusão, como atividade física, hábitos de vida, renda, carga de trabalho e outras características.

Resultados: Foram avaliados 195 participantes. No total, 16,9% relataram pular o café da manhã e 56,9% apresentaram excesso de peso. Mulheres e profissionais técnicos exibiram o dobro da prevalência de excesso de peso em comparação com seus pares. Além disso, participantes com níveis de renda mais elevados mostraram maior probabilidade de pular o café da manhã. No modelo ajustado, aqueles que pulavam o café da manhã apresentaram uma prevalência 32% maior de excesso de peso (RPa: 1,32; IC95%: 1,02–1,71) em comparação com os que não o faziam. O sexo feminino, o trabalho técnico e a alta carga laboral também estiveram positivamente associados ao excesso de peso no modelo ajustado.

Conclusão: São necessárias intervenções que promovam condições de trabalho mais saudáveis e práticas de vida equilibradas, a fim de melhorar a qualidade de vida e o estado nutricional dos profissionais de saúde.
