description Abstract:  Introduction: From the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, numerous labor categories had to adapt to protect the health of their workers and to be able to continue with their activities. Among them are the Call Centers, who migrated their usual modality to that of teleworking or home office in the workers' home. This caused numerous changes in people's lifestyles, eating habits and levels of physical activity, among others, in an unfavorable epidemiological context. Objective: To describe eating habits, physical activity level and nutritional status of the telephone agents of a Call Center account in the city of Córdoba under the telework modality, in the year 2020. Material and methods: An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study. Non-probabilistic sample, for convenience, made up of 90 telephone agents from a Call Center account under the telework modality (exclusion criteria: seniority <2 months, workers with sick leave, pregnant women and lactating women). Data collection was carried out using a semi-structured survey form to be completed in an online, self-administered format (Google Forms). It was prepared based on the survey proposed by the Manual de Entornos Saludables  and the Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física “IPAQ”. Results: 85.6% of the sample was represented by the female gender, the mean age was 28.8 ± 5.5 years. 45.6% presented a BMI ≥ 25 Kg / m2 and six out of ten workers perceived an increase in weight since they began to telework. Practically everyone eats at least one meal during their working hours, ultra-processed products being the most chosen and more than half (54.4%) increased their food consumption. 83.5% spent 6 hours or more sitting during a business day. Conclusions: The high proportion of workers with overweight and obesity, the quality of their diet with a prominence of ultra-processed foods and the high time spent sitting, call for the generation of adapted strategies that promote healthy lifestyles in work environments, in order to protect the health and prevent the development of diseases.

Resumen:  Introducción: A partir del inicio de la pandemia por COVID-19, numerosos rubros laborales debieron adaptarse para proteger la salud de sus trabajadores y poder continuar con sus actividades. Entre ellos se encuentran los Call Centers, quienes migraron su modalidad habitual a la de teletrabajo o home office en el hogar de los trabajadores. Esto ocasionó numerosos cambios en los estilos de vida de las personas, hábitos alimentarios y niveles de actividad física entre otros, en un contexto epidemiológico poco favorable. Objetivo: Describir los hábitos alimentarios, nivel actividad física y el estado nutricional, de los agentes telefónicos de una cuenta de Call Center de la ciudad de Córdoba bajo la modalidad de teletrabajo, en el año 2020. Material y métodos: Estudio de alcance observacional, descriptivo y de corte transversal. Muestra no probabilística, por conveniencia, conformada por 90 agentes telefónicos de una cuenta de Call Center bajo la modalidad de teletrabajo (criterios de exclusión:  antigüedad <2 meses, trabajadores con licencia por enfermedad, gestantes y mujeres lactantes). La recolección de datos se llevó a cabo mediante un formulario de encuesta semi-estructurado para ser completado en formato online, autoadministrado (Formularios de Google). El mismo se confeccionó en base a la encuesta propuesta por el Manual de Entornos Saludables y del Cuestionario Internacional de Actividad Física “IPAQ”.   Resultados: el 85,6% de la muestra estuvo representada por el género femenino, la media de edad fue de 28,8 ± 5,5 años. El 45,6% presentó un IMC ≥ 25 Kg/m2 y seis de cada diez trabajadores percibió aumento ponderal desde que comenzó a teletrabajar. Prácticamente todos realizan al menos una comida durante su horario laboral, siendo los productos ultraprocesados los más elegidos y más de la mitad (54,4%) aumentó el consumo de alimentos. El 83,5% pasó 6 horas o más sentado durante un día hábil. Conclusiones: La elevada proporción de trabajadores con sobrepeso y obesidad, la calidad de su alimentación con prominencia de ultraprocesados y el elevado tiempo de permanencia sentado, instan generar estrategias adaptadas que promuevan estilos de vida saludable en los entornos laborales, con el fin de proteger la salud y prevenir el desarrollo de enfermedades. .
