目的：本文确定了人体测量学、父母和心理社会特征以及饮食习惯（例如，不吃早餐和吃饭和吃零食的次数）与总能量消耗、脂肪、水果、100%果汁、蔬菜、加糖饮料和水的能量百分比相关，研究方法和程序：本研究包括114名8至10岁的非裔美国女孩和父母或主要护理人员。女孩和父母或主要照顾者完成了几份饮食问卷。对每个女孩进行了两次24小时的饮食回忆。测量身高和体重。单独的分层回归分析进行了每个因饮食变量，潜在的场中心差异examined.Results：的膳食和零食消耗的数量与能量摄入量。较低的体重指数与较高的蔬菜消费量有关，而零食消费量与甜饮料消费量呈正相关。家长报告的更好的低脂食物准备做法与脂肪消耗占总能量的百分比较低有关。讨论：不同地理区域的饮食行为不同。在家里准备低脂食物的做法似乎对脂肪消耗的能量百分比有重要影响。更多的蔬菜消费与较低的BMI相关。预防非裔美国女孩体重过度增加的干预措施应鼓励在家中准备低脂食品，并增加蔬菜的消费。
Objective: This paper identifies the anthropometric, parental, and psychosocial characteristics and meal practices (e.g., breakfast skipping and number of meals and snacks consumed) associated with consumption of total energy, percent energy from fat, fruit, 100% fruit juice, vegetables, sweetened beverages, and water among 8- to 10-year-old African-American girls.Research Methods and Procedures: This study included 114 8- to 10-year-old African-American girls and a parent or primary care-giver. Girls and a parent or primary caregiver completed several dietary questionnaires. Two 24-hour dietary recalls were conducted with each girl. Height and weight were measured. Separate hierarchical regression analyses were conducted for each dependent dietary variable; potential field center differences were examined.Results: The number of meals and snacks consumed was correlated with energy intake. Lower BMI was related to higher vegetable consumption, and the number of snacks consumed was positively related to sweetened beverage consumption. Greater low-fat food preparation practices reported by parents were related to lower consumption of fat as a percentage of total energy. Discussion: Dietary behavior differed across geographic areas. Low-fat food preparation practices in the home seemed to be an important influence on the percentage of energy consumed from fat. Greater vegetable consumption was associated with lower BMI. Interventions to prevent excessive weight gain in African-American girls should encourage low-fat food preparation in the home and greater consumption of vegetables.
