本研究检查了314名城市非裔美国青少年（平均年龄（SD）=12.57（.98）岁; 66%为女性; 91%为非裔美国人; 9%为非裔美国人）的日常高脂肪食物来源，以估计膳食脂肪摄入量。使用Block Fat Screener测量青少年的脂肪摄入量。大多数（77%）参与者的饮食脂肪含量非常高（即，40%至50%的能量）。平均消费频率揭示了年轻人对以下高脂肪食品的偏好：玉米片，薯片，爆米花和饼干;炸鸡;甜甜圈，糕点，蛋糕和饼干。总脂肪摄入量因青少年的年龄而异。城市，非洲裔美国青少年可以从干预中受益，以降低他们的脂肪摄入量。显然需要针对和解决这一人群的食物偏好和饮食习惯的方案。
This study examined commonly consumed high-fat food sources to estimate dietary fat intake among 314 urban, African American adolescents (mean age (SD)=12.57 (.98) years; 66% female; 91% African American non-Hispanic; and 9% African American Hispanic). Youths' fat intake was measured using the Block Fat Screener. Most (77%) participants had diets very high in fat (i.e., 40% to 50% of energy). Mean frequencies of consumption revealed youths' preferences for the following high-fat food items: corn chips, potato chips, popcorn, and crackers; fried chicken; and doughnuts, pastries, cake, and cookies. Total fat intake differed based on youths' age. Urban, African American adolescents can benefit from intervention to lower their fat intake. Programs that target and address the food preferences and eating habits of this population are clearly needed.
