Hygienic Assessment of Nutritional Status as a Behavioral Risk Factor for the Health of Cosmetologists

One of the most common and at the same time controllable behavioral health risk factors is the nutrition factor. Materials and methods. Nutritional status was assessed in accordance with somatometric signs: body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC) index. The Dutch DEBQ questionnaire was used to evaluate the type of eating behavior (EB) and its assessment. Results. The features of nutrition have been established. A high prevalence of excess body weight was revealed among doctors of the second group (40–59 years old). 78.8 % of respondents had eating disorders with a predominance of external and restrictive types. Conclusion. The identified features of eating behavior of doctors, including emotionally dependent behavior, are more common among people in the older age group, which necessitates the use of psychological methods for its correction.
