Abstract

Objective: To determine the association of fast food intake and development of coronary heart disease with middle-aged men due to the nature of their job and eating habits. Methods: A cross-sectional study conducted among middle-aged males working in a different professional environment. The duration of the study was from March-October 2019. The calculated sample size was 385 and a Non-probability convenient sampling technique was used to collect data. Only Men aged 35-60 years of age working in different professional setups were included. Data was collected through a pre-structured questionnaire. Data was entered on IBM SPSS version 20. Results: The response rate to the survey was 85% while the completion rate of the survey was 94.5%. The mean age was 44.89 ±7.58 years having an average BMI of 25.94±3.89kg/m2. Out of these 311 men, 97.1% were a fast-food consumer. Fast food was more likely to be consumed by people who were doing a desk job than people whose nature was other than desk work (p=0.049). Among fast-food consumers, 40.7% had hypertension, 35.4% were obese, 22.5% had heart disease, and 21.9% had dyslipidemia. No significant association of heart disease (p=0.0689), obesity (p=1.00), hypertension (p=0.323) and dyslipidemia (p=0.213) was found with fast food consumption. Conclusion: Direct association between fast food and Coronary heart (CHD) disease is not significantly observed in the current study. However, dietary habits and the consumption of fast food have a profound effect on the development of predisposing factors of CHD. It is also concluded that long hours of desk job have a strong association with increased fast food intake due to its easy and quick availability within the short duration of time.
巴基斯坦卡拉奇男性人群中快餐摄入与冠心病危险因素的关系
目的:了解中年男性因工作性质和饮食习惯而摄入快餐与冠心病发生的关系。方法:对不同职业环境的中年男性进行横断面研究。该研究的持续时间为2019年3月至10月。计算样本量为385,采用非概率方便抽样技术收集数据。仅包括在不同专业机构工作的35-60岁男性。数据是通过预先编制的问卷收集的。数据在IBM SPSS version 20上输入。结果:调查回复率为85%,调查完成率为94.5%。平均年龄为44.89±7.58岁,平均BMI为25.94±3.89kg/m2。在这311名男性中,97.1%是快餐消费者。做案头工作的人比不做案头工作的人更有可能吃快餐(p=0.049)。在快餐消费者中,40.7%患有高血压,35.4%患有肥胖,22.5%患有心脏病,21.9%患有血脂异常。心脏病(p=0.0689)、肥胖(p=1.00)、高血压(p=0.323)和血脂异常(p=0.213)与快餐消费没有显著关联。结论:本研究未发现快餐与冠心病直接相关。然而,饮食习惯和快餐的消费对冠心病易感因素的发展有着深远的影响。研究还得出结论,长时间的案头工作与快餐摄入量的增加有着密切的联系,因为快餐在短时间内很容易、很快就能吃到。
