      the Uruguayan State Electrical Company (UTE): Design, Protocol and Methodology.

AB  - Noncommunicable diseases are the main cause of death globally, and most are 
      potentially preventable; they are long term diseases and generally evolve slowly. 
      In Uruguay 64.9% of the population between 25 and 64 years of age are either 
      overweight or obese. The available scientific data show that workplaces are good 
      for developing food-intake interventions for a healthier life. The present study 
      aims to report the design, protocol and methodology for the evaluation of the 
      food intake and physical activity patterns of the Uruguayan State Electrical 
      Company (UTE) workers, as it is distributed across the whole country, and has 
      established associations with overweight and obesity in order to establish 
      institutional strategies to improve the situation. This study uses a population 
      and a cross-sectional, randomized, representative sample of UTE workers with a 
      precision of 3% and a confidence level of 95%. The considered anthropometric 
      variables are weight, height, waist circumference, percentage of fat mass and 
      percentage of visceral fat. A questionnaire on frequency of consumption of 
      different foods and two 24-h dietary recalls (24-h DR) will be performed to 
      evaluate the food intake. Accelerometry will be used to evaluate physical 
      activity, and the International physical activity questionnaire (IPAQ) will be 
      applied. Clinical data will be obtained from the UTE clinical charts. This is the 
      first study of its kind that will be undertaken in Uruguay. It is registered 
      under ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier n masculine NCT04509908.
