目的探讨青少年家庭膳食模式及其与社会人口学特征和膳食摄入量的关系。研究对象为明尼阿波利斯/圣保罗公立学校的4746名来自不同种族和社会经济背景的初中生和高中生。统计分析采用交叉表、对数线性模型和线性回归分析。结果前一周家庭聚餐的频率分布广泛：从不(14.0%)，1~2次(19.1%)，3~6次(40.1%)，与更频繁的家庭聚餐相关的社会人口学特征包括性别(男孩)、学校水平(中学)、种族(亚裔美国人)、母亲的就业状况(未就业)和社会经济地位(高)。家庭聚餐频率与水果、蔬菜、谷物和富钙食物的摄入量呈正相关，与软饮料的摄入量呈负相关。家庭聚餐频率与能量、蛋白质(占总热量的百分比)、钙、铁、叶酸、纤维、维生素A、C、E和B-6呈正相关。结论家庭聚餐在促进青少年积极膳食摄入方面具有重要作用。应与青少年及其家人探讨增加家庭聚餐频率的可行方法。
Objective To examine family meal patterns and associations with sociodemographic characteristics and dietary intake in adolescents.Design A 'population-based cross-sectional study design was employed. Adolescents completed the Project EAT (Eating Among Teens) survey and the Youth and Adolescent Food Frequency Questionnaire within their schools.Subjects/setting The study population included 4,746 middle and high school students from Minneapolis/St. Paul public schools with diverse racial and socioeconomic backgrounds.Statistical analyses Associations were examined using cross tabulations, log-linear modeling, and linear regressions.Results There was a wide distribution in the frequency of family meals during the previous week: never (14.0%), 1 or 2 times (19.1%), 3 to 6 times (40.1%), and 7 or more times (24.8%).'Sociodemographic characteristics associated with more frequent family meals included gender (boys), school level (middle school), race (Asian American), mother's employment status (not employed), and socioeconomic status (high). Frequency of family meals was positively associated with intake of fruits, vegetables, grains, and calcium-rich foods and negatively associated with soft drink consumption. Positive associations were also seen between frequency of family meals and energy; protein (percentage of total calories); calcium; iron; folate; fiber; and vitamins A, C, E, and B-6Conclusions Family meals appear to play an important role in promoting positive dietary intake among adolescents. Feasible ways to increase the frequency of family meals should be explored with adolescents and their families.
