Description
Long-haul truck drivers (LHTD) experience disproportionately greater chronic disease risk,
which may be influenced by both occupational and lifestyle factors. This study aimed to explore the
multilevel factors associated with LHTD’s diet and physical activity (PA).
Methods: Thirty in-depth interviews were conducted with LHTD in the Southern California border region. Interview questions captured occupational and lifestyle factors relating to PA and diet at multiple
levels and were analyzed using thematic analysis.
Results: Emergent themes relating to both diet and PA included time constraints, attitudes and perceived
beliefs, and accessibility of environments to engage in PA and healthy eating. Themes specific to PA were
weather conditions and flatbed job duties. Themes specific to diet included access to refrigerators/microwaves and social interactions.
Conclusion: Findings from this study can inform the development of tailored, multi-level interventions to
encourage PA and healthy dietary behaviors among LHTD
