1992年俄罗斯的社会、政治和经济改革导致了收入不平等加剧、失业和经济危机的十年，其中最严重的一次发生在1998年。本研究评估了1994年至2000年这一政治和经济不稳定时期低收入和高收入家庭儿童的饮食趋势。还评估了几种可能与食物有关的行为，以评估面对经济稳定性下降所采取的应对策略。低。在整个研究期间，收入儿童每公斤体重的能量摄入量保持稳定（251.0-259.4千焦/公斤），而高收入儿童的人均能量摄入量在2000年显著增加，达到297.1千焦/公斤。在食物组水平上，低收入儿童除肉禽消费量下降22%外，其余食物组人均采食量均保持不变（P < 0.01）。高收入组乳制品和蛋类的人均摄入量随着时间的推移而增加（P < 0.01）。低收入和高收入家庭的每千焦（卢布/千焦）成本均下降（P < 0.01）。这些数据表明，在经济危机期间，俄罗斯家庭能够通过使用似乎与食物相关的行为机制来保护儿童的饮食结构。
The social, political and economic reforms of 1992 in Russia led to a decade of rising income inequality, unemployment and economic crises, the most severe of which occurred in 1998. This study assesses dietary trends for children in low and high income households during this politically and economically unstable period from 1994 to 2000. Several possible food-related behaviors were also assessed to evaluate coping strategies adopted in the face of decreasing economic stability. Low. income children maintained a steady energy intake per kilogram weight throughout the study period (251.0-259.4 kJ/kg), whereas intake for high income children increased significantly to a per capital average of 297.1 kJ/kg by 2000. At the food group level, the trend in per capita intake for all food groups was maintained for low income children except for a 22% decrease in meat and poultry consumption (P < 0.01). Per capita intake increased over time for dairy products and eggs in the high income group (P < 0.01). A decrease in cost per kJ (rubles/kJ) was observed for both low and high income families (P < 0.01). These data suggest that Russian households were able to conserve the diet structure for children by using what appear to be food-related behavioral mechanisms during periods of economic crisis.
