Sustainable lifestyle: To encourage and nudge a sustainable lifestyle in an office context in order to improve public health and combat climate change.
Healthy lifestyle: To encourage and nudge a healthy lifestyle in an office context, the participants in this arm will function as a control group receiving general recommendations based on NNR 2014 nutritional recommendations and WHO physical activity recommendations.
Study summary
The main goal of the study, Sustainable Office Intervention (SOFIA), is to promote and ease the adoption of a sustainable lifestyle within an office environment, with the dual goals of enhancing public health and mitigating the adverse effects of climate change. Specifically, the study aims to assess the effectiveness of promoting sustainable lifestyle choices in the office workplace compared to promoting a conventional healthy lifestyle in regards to diet and physical activity.

Primary outcome measure(s)
Change in dietary patterns and intake of fruit and vegetable — Baseline, after 4 weeks and after 8 weeks. Assessment of dietary patterns by the food-frequency questionnaire Meal-Q, expressed as servings per day or grams per day of meat, dairy products, fruit and vegetable.
Change from baseline in dietary carbon dioxide equivalents — Baseline, after 4 weeks and after 8 weeks. Assessment of dietary Carbon dioxide equivalents (CO₂e) by converting data from Meal-Q to a daily intake of 50 nutrients by linkage to the National Food Composition Table as well as to a database with Life cycle assessment (LCA) data for 65 different food products to calculate greenhouse gas emissions CO₂e per day.
Change in physical activity level — Baseline, after 4 weeks and after 8 weeks. Assessment of physical activity by the self-administrated Web-based questionnaire Active-Q, expressed as metabolic equivalent of task value (MET).
Changes in concentration of urinary pesticide residues in urine — Baseline, and after 8 weeks. Assessment of sustainable and organic food intake by measuring concentration of pesticide residues. Samples will be collected at two occasions; baseline (reference sample), and at the end (after 8 weeks) in 50ml FALCON polypropylene containers and stored at -80˚C until further analysis according to gold standard methods. The results will be calculated as μg pesticide/g creatinine to adjust for differences in urinary concentration.
