Association of eating habits with health perception and diseases among Chinese physicians: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Some eating habits may be related to the development of gastrointestinal diseases, obesity, and related metabolic dysfunctions. Because of long working hours, and shift schedules, physicians are more likely to form such eating habits and have a high risk of developing these diseases.

Objectives

We aimed to investigate the association between physicians' eating habits and their health perception and diseases.

Methods

Between 24 June and 5 August 2020, we performed convenience sampling of in-service physicians in hospitals in mainland China. A questionnaire was administered to collect data pertaining to basic sociodemographic characteristics, eating habits, health-related information such as body mass index classification, and prevalence of common diseases.
