目的：本研究调查了儿童行为调节的神经认知技能与水果、蔬菜和零食摄入量之间的关系。设计：参与者在单个时间点完成调查。地点：评估在学校进行。参与者：来自美国一个大城市的107名四年级儿童。91%是拉丁裔，4%是非裔美国人，这代表了学校的种族分布。主要结果测量(S)：纳入的自变量是自我报告的执行认知功能。因变量包括自报的水果、蔬菜和休闲食品的摄入量。分析：主要分析适合人口统计学变量的一般线性回归模型。结果：分析显示，ECF水平与零食摄入量呈负相关，但与水果和蔬菜的摄入量无显著相关。结论和启示：由于ECF与零食摄入量相关，未来的研究可以考虑在健康促进干预中评估提高ECF的潜力。
Objective: The current study investigated relations among neurocognitive skills important for behavioral regulation, and the intake of fruit, vegetables, and snack food in children.Design: Participants completed surveys at a single time point.Setting: Assessments took place during school.Participants: Participants were 107 fourth-grade children from a large US city. Ninety-one percent were Latino, and 4% were African-American, which represented school ethnic distribution.Main Outcome Measure(s): Independent variable included was self-reported executive cognitive function (ECF). Dependent variables included self-reported fruit, vegetable, and snack food intake.Analyses: Primary analyses general linear regression models covarying for appropriate demographic variables.Results: Analyses demonstrated that ECF proficiency was negatively related to snack food intake, but was not significantly related to fruit and vegetable intake.Conclusions and Implications: Since ECF is correlated with snack food intake, future studies may consider assessing the potential of enhancing ECF in health promotion interventions.
