目前，人们对食物的意义或食物与健康之间的联系知之甚少。关于男子健康的新兴文献强调，男子气概的形式（例如冒险、刀枪不入）是对男子健康做法产生（负面）影响的一个因素。这项研究的目的是利用与男子气概有关的概念分析男子对食物和健康的叙述。我们报告了一个数据集的定性分析，该数据集包括24个来自不同年龄和社会阶层的英国男性的访谈。我们的研究结果表明，男性健康饮食的两个主要障碍：对政府健康信息的愤世嫉俗，以及以味道差和无法满足为由拒绝健康食品。这些研究结果进行了讨论与男性的理想，如理性，自主权和力量。我们的分析对未来的研究和男性健康促进政策的影响进行了讨论。(c)2005爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Currently, little is known about the meanings men attach to food or to the links between food and health. The burgeoning literature on men's health highlights forms of masculinity (e.g. risk-taking, invulnerability) as a factor (negatively) influencing men's health practices. The aim of this study was to provide an analysis of men's accounts of food and health using concepts pertaining to masculinity. We report on a qualitative analysis of a dataset comprising 24 interviews with UK men from a range of age and social class groups. Our findings suggest two principal barriers to healthy eating in men: cynicism about government health messages and a rejection of healthy food on grounds of poor taste and inability to satisfy. These findings are discussed in relation to masculine ideals such as rationality, autonomy and strength. The implications of our analysis for future research and men's health promotion policy are discussed. (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
