“…In terms of study design, the majority of the studies (12) were cross-sectional [ 10 , 27 – 30 , 32 , 34 , 36 , 40 , 44 , 45 , 48 ], whereas 3 of them were designed as qualitative [ 39 , 43 , 47 ], three studies as pre-and post/interventional [ 8 , 38 , 42 ], one reported retrospective design with existing data [ 46 ] and 7 studies did not report the study design [ 6 , 26 , 31 , 33 , 35 , 37 , 41 ]. At least two studies applied mixed methodology which probably was presented in separate articles [ 8 , 38 – 40 ].…”

Background Seafaring is a risky occupation with high prevalence of risk factors for non-communicable diseases. Food intake and eating habits are important cornerstones regarding health and health promotion. The aim of this study was to provide an overview of dietary intake and dietary intake assessment methods of seafarers and suggestions for applicable assessment tools. Methods We systematically searched PubMed and NLM Gateway (for MEDLINE), Web of Science, and SCOPUS up to February 2020 using standard keywords including nutrition OR diet OR meal AND maritime settings. Two independent reviewers extracted the data. The quality of included studies was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal checklist. Results From 4449 studies initially identified, 26 articles were included in the final review. Qualitative data (e.g. on unhealthy eating) had been gathered using in-depth individual or group interviews, participant observations, and phone-based chats. Composition of menu analysis, 24 h dietary recall, food diaries/ diet records, dietary habits questionnaire, food stores and food waste of the ship were used to assess the quantitative outcomes (e.g. dietary intakes). Access to meat, processed meat and egg, frozen and canned food items, sugary drinks, alcohol, greasy and salty food was high. In contrast, consumption of fruit, vegetables, dairy products, and cereals was lower than recommended. Conclusions Eating habits and dietary intakes in maritime settings are unhealthy. Subjective dietary assessment methods combining menu analysis with new technologies (e.g. mobile-based) might be an applicable method in this hard to reach setting which is the vessels.

“…Four of the 13 studies were conducted in Morocco, 2 studies in India, 1 study each was investigated in France, Croatia, Greece, Denmark, the Seychelles and the Philippines and 1 study was carried out anonymously. Eight of the 13 studies were conducted among fishermen [5,6,8,[10][11][12][13][14] and 5 among seafarers [15][16][17][18][19].…”

“…Fort et al [8] used AUDIT-C to show the possible dependence on alcohol, and they used an alcohol consumption profile to show consumers with excessive (67.7%) and without excessive (21.8%) profiles [8]. The other 4 studies applied individual questionnaires with various and heterogeneous definitions of alcohol consumption (Table 1) [ [14][15][16]19]. Slišković and Penezić [15], for example, requested the amount (standard drink unit/typical day) and frequency of alcohol intake.…”

“…The prevalence of alcohol consumption among seamen showed a wide range from 11.5% to 89.5% (median 53.0%) [5,6,8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17], with differences in respect of the occupational group; fishermen ranged from 35.4% to 89.5% (median 47.7%) vs. seafarers from 11.5% to 79.4% (median 58.5%). With an overall prevalence of alcohol consumption among seafarers of only 11.5%, the study by Mahdi et al [18] was significantly different from other studies.…”

“…Among Filipino seafarers more than 40% of respondents consumed a diet rich in fats, and another 27% diet with a high salt content, which means that about 70% made dietary mistakes [9]. What's more, almost 80% of seafarers admitted to consuming alcohol in the last month [10].…”

Background: Cardiovascular diseases are still the most common cause of death from natural causes among seafarers. The aim of the study was to determine which of the cardiovascular risk factors listed in the current recommendations of the European Society of Cardiology occur among seafarers. Materials and methods: The paper is a review of literature from PubMed Database. Results: Based on conducted analysis of over 31 papers high prevalence of classic and other cardiovascular risk factors among seafarers was proven. The most common risk factors among offshore workers are overweight and obesity (over 64%); moreover, these factors occur more often among seafarers than in the general population. Also hypertension, smoking, type 2 diabetes and unfavourable lipid profile were present more often in this occupational group. In the analysed studies attention was also paid to factors often overlooked in risk assessment such as mental and inflammatory illnesses, unfavourable working conditions and psychological burden. Conclusions: Seafarers have a higher cardiovascular risk because, among other things, the prevalence of "old and new" risk factors among them is higher than in general population.
