Özet:

 Aim: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity among municipal bus drivers in İstanbul province and explore the intricate relationships between weight status, physical activity levels, stress perception, emotional eating tendencies, and dietary patterns within this occupational group. Material and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with the participation of 380 bus drivers. Data were collected through face-to-face interviews using a data collection tool consisting of an information form, the International Physical Activity Questionnaire Short Form IPAQ-SF, the Perceived Stress Scale PSS, the Emotional Eating Scale EES, and 24-hour Dietary Recall. Results: The findings revealed that 85.8 of the participants were overweight 52.6 or with obesity 33.2. The mean PSS score was 25.86.7, and the mean EES score was 29.310.8. The participants exhibited low physical activity levels 96.1, with a mean of 246.2165.4, signifying inactivity. Weak positive correlations were found between PSS and ESS scores. Dietary analysis showed a moderate energy intake of 1674.4429.5 kcal. Individual variability in energy intake and nutrient consumption patterns was evident. Conclusion: The high prevalence of overweight and obesity among municipal bus drivers highlights the importance of targeted interventions for improved lifestyle and reduced health risks in this occupational group.

 Amaç: Bu çalışma, İstanbul ili Belediye otobüs şoförleri arasındaki fazla kiloluluk ve obezite prevalansını araştırmayı amaçlamakta olup, bu meslek grubu içinde ağırlık durumu, fiziksel aktivite seviyeleri, stres algısı, duygusal yeme eğilimleri ve beslenme alışkanlıkları arasındaki ilişkileri keşfetmeyi hedeflemektedir. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, 380 otobüs şoförünün katılımıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler yüz yüze görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmış olup, veri toplama aracı olarak bir bilgi formu, Uluslararası Fiziksel Aktivite Anketi Kısa Formu IPAQ-SF, Algılanan Stres Ölçeği PSS, Duygusal Yeme Ölçeği EES ve 24 saatlik geriye dönük besin tüketim kaydı kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Katılımcıların 85.8inin fazla kilolu 52.6 veya obez 33.2 olduğu saptanmıştır. Ortalama PSS skoru 25.86.7 ve ortalama EES skoru 29.310.8 olarak bulunmuştur. Katılımcılar düşük fiziksel aktivite seviyeleri sergilemişlerdir 96.1 ve ortalama aktivite düzeyi 246.2165.4 olarak belirlenmiştir.
