The aim of this study was to estimate the energy content, macronutrient intake and their impact on the somatometric parameters in older working-age men. A total of 284 men included in the study were asked to fill out the questionnaire and underwent a physical examination. Dietary patterns were studied using a 24h recall method. The following measurements were taken: body height and weight, waist and hip circumference.  BMI was calculated. The participants were divided into 3 groups by the level of their physical activity (PA): low PA (energy expenditure 2300≤PA<2700 kcal/day), moderate PA (2700≤PA<3100), high PA (3100≤PA<4000). Of all study participants, 22.3% had normal BMI, 31.7% were generally obese, and 27.1% had abdominal obesity. Individuals with abdominal obesity made up 93.3±3.7% of the general obesity group.  On average, energy intake was within the reference range for 60.3±2.9% of the participants, was higher than recommended in 21.7±2.4% of cases and below the recommended level in 17.9±2.3% of cases. The risk of obesity for individuals whose dietary energy intake exceeded the recommended levels was ОR=1.9 [1.05-3.67], χ²=2.7; р=0.05. The diet of subjects with BMI ≥ 30 had higher protein, cholesterol and starch content than in other groups. The high PA group was at risk of abdominal and general obesity (OR=3.6 [1.5-7.7], р=0.005 and OR=3.6 [1.5-7.7], р=0.005, respectively). In the low PA group, increased BMI was observed in 47.4±3.4% of the subjects, and 12.3±5.8% had abdominal obesity. Our findings may be useful for developing nutritional guidelines for the working-age population.
