Resumen

Introduction: Mandatory or voluntary confinement during the COVID-19 pandemic has modified food intake and increased the sedentary lifestyle; increasing the atherogenic risk in the population. Objective: Determine the association between eating behavior and atherogenic indicators during the COVID-19 pandemic period in workers at a hydrocarbon camp. Materials and methods: Research with a quantitative approach, observational design, descriptive cross-Association, retrospective. The final study sample was made up of 85 workers from the hydrocarbon company Compañía Operadora de Gas del Amazonas (COGA), in Peru; during the period January to December 2021. Adult workers of both sexes were included in the study, with information recorded in occupational medical examinations. Eating behavior was collected through a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire (EFCA). The biochemical profile was obtained from occupational health examinations by determining the Castelli index, TG/HDL index, and Kannel index. To evaluate the association between eating behavior and atherogenic indicators, the non-parametric Chi square statistical test was used. Results: 63.5% of the evaluated workers presented cardiovascular risk; the Castelli and Kannel indicators with 40.0% and 41.2%; respectively, they are within a risk range; being less than 50% of those interviewed; The TG/HDL indicator was 63.5% with cardiovascular risk. Likewise, 60.0% presented unhealthy eating behavior. When evaluating the association between eating behavior and atherogenic indicators, a p value 0.05 was obtained. Conclusion: Eating behavior has an association with atherogenic indicators in workers at a hydrocarbon camp; increasing cardiovascular risk in those who exhibited unhealthy behavior.
