摘要

Introduction

Abdominal adiposity is a major risk factor for non-communicable diseases and may be influenced by occupational stress and dietary patterns, particularly among public security officers.

Objective

This study aimed to identify abdominal adiposity and investigate its association with dietary intake, biochemical variables, stress, and quality of life among public security officers.

Methodology

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 216 public security officers from the state of Espírito Santo, using the Stress Symptoms Inventory (ISSL), the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), and the WHOQOL-bref to assess stress symptoms, dietary intake, and quality of life, respectively. Associations were evaluated using Poisson regression models with robust variance, in crude and adjusted analyses.

Results

The sample was predominantly male (76.03%), with a high prevalence of overweight individuals. Higher body mass index, greater adherence to ultra-processed food consumption, and the presence of stress symptoms were associated with a higher prevalence of abdominal adiposity.

Conclusion

Abdominal adiposity among public security officers was independently associated with stress symptoms and higher consumption of ultra-processed foods. These findings highlight the relevance of psychosocial and dietary factors in occupational health and support the need for workplace-based strategies aimed at stress reduction and promotion of healthier eating patterns.
