This book was released on 1977 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: Although significant differences in eating habits were observed, no association between nutrition knowledge and dietary adequacy was demonstrated in a survey of 1930 male and female college students, which included 717 members of the national home economics honor society. Food intake data was collected by 24-hour food recall and nutrition knowledge was evaluated with a 25 item nutrition quiz. Significant differences in nutrition knowledge among honor society students, non-home economics females and non-home economics males were indicated by mean test scores of 18.2, 13.5 and 12.8 in the 3 groups respectively. However, non-home economics males scored significantly higher with respect to dietary adequacy than either of the other 2 groups. No significant relationship between adequacy of diet and knowledge of nutrition was seen for any of the 3 groups. These findings suggest that traditional nutrition education methods may not be effective in changing eating behaviors.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to compare the difference and relationship between nutrition knowledge and food intake among students who had completed a nutrition course and students who had not completed a nutrition course. It was hypothesized that there would be a relationship between the knowledge scores and the Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores. Also, it was expected that there would be a difference in the nutrition knowledge scores and healthy eating index scores among students who had completed a nutrition course and students who had not completed a nutrition course. The HEI-2010 was used to measure diet quality. The participants (n=121) completed an electronic questionnaire that consisted of 74 nutrition knowledge questions and a 24-hr diet recall form. There was a positive correlation between knowledge scores and HEI scores (P = 0.001). Students who had completed a nutrition course had a mean knowledge score of 49.5 and a mean HEI score of 68.3, while students who had not completed a nutrition course had a mean knowledge score of 39.2 and a mean HEI score of 55.4. This study demonstrated that nutritional knowledge contributes to better food choices and more adequate nutritional intake among college students. Future nutrition interventions to improve dietary quality in college students should focus on improving nutrition knowledge.

Book excerpt: Globally, the food system and the relationship of the individual to that system, continues to change and grow in complexity. Eating is an everyday event that is part of everyone’s lives. There are many commentaries on the nature of these changes to what, where and how we eat and their socio-cultural, environmental, educational, economic and health consequences. Among this discussion, the term "food literacy" has emerged to acknowledge the broad role food and eating play in our lives and the empowerment that comes from meeting food needs well. In this book, contributors from Australia, China, United Kingdom and North America provide a review of international research on food literacy and how this can be applied in schools, health care settings and public education and communication at the individual, group and population level. These varying perspectives will give the reader an introduction to this emerging concept. The book gathers current insights and provides a platform for discussion to further understanding and application in this field. It stimulates the reader to conceptualise what food literacy means to their practice and to critically review its potential contribution to a range of outcomes.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: College students have poor dietary habits and lack proper nutrition education and skills to allow them to make healthy choices; yet, health promotion efforts on campuses are limited and have failed to address appropriate programs to improve nutrition behaviors and education. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of a nutrition education intervention on dietary intake, nutrition knowledge, and stage of change in college students. Students enrolled in an exercise class received eight educational lessons focused on basic nutrition science principles, health implications and benefits, and specific behavioral skills to improve their food choices. Paired t-tests revealed no significant changes in dietary intake or nutrition knowledge. However, positive significant improvements were seen in stages of change towards healthy eating. There were several limitations of this study, but future interventions should focus on a more structured educational setting with interactive activities to improve dietary behaviors.

This book was released on 2018-06-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FAO provides countries with technical support to conduct nutrition assessments, in particular to build the evidence base required for countries to achieve commitments made at the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2) and under the 2016-2025 UN Decade of Action on Nutrition. Such concrete evidence can only derive from precise and valid measures of what people eat and drink. There is a wide range of dietary assessment methods available to measure food and nutrient intakes (expressed as energy insufficiency, diet quality and food patterns etc.) in diet and nutrition surveys, in impact surveys, and in monitoring and evaluation. Differenct indicators can be selected according to a study's objectives, sample population, costs and required precision. In low capacity settings, a number of other issues should be considered (e.g. availability of food composition tables, cultural and community specific issues, such as intra-household distribution of foods and eating from shared plates, etc.). This manual aims to signpost for the users the best way to measure food and nutrient intakes and to enhance their understanding of the key features, strengths and limitations of various methods. It also highlights a number of common methodological considerations involved in the selection process. Target audience comprises of individuals (policy-makers, programme managers, educators, health professionals including dietitians and nutritionists, field workers and researchers) involved in national surveys, programme planning and monitoring and evaluation in low capacity settings, as well as those in charge of knowledge brokering for policy-making.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how the social environment affects food choices and intake, and documents the extent to which people are unaware of the significant impact of social factors on their eating. The authors take a unique approach to studying eating behaviors in ordinary circumstances, presenting a theory of normal eating that highlights social influences independent of physiological and taste factors. Among the topics discussed: Modeling of food intake and food choice Consumption stereotypes and impression management Research design, methodology, and ethics of studying eating behaviors What happens when we overeat? Effects of social eating Social Influences on Eating is a useful reference for psychologists and researchers studying food and nutritional psychology, challenging commonly held assumptions about the dynamics of food choice and intake in order to promote a better understanding of the power of social influence on all forms of behavior.

Download or read book Investigating the Influence of Nutrition Education Messages on Food Selection and Body Weight in First-year College Students written by Jillian Blong and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significance: The obesity rate continues to rise in the United States. It has been reported that college students tend to practice poor dietary behaviors and experience significant weight gain during the first two years of enrollment (Brown, O'Connor & Savaiano, 2014). Establishing healthy dietary behaviors during this specific time frame may prevent excess weight gain and reduce the risk of long-term obesity related complications. Purpose/Aim: Nutrition education has been found to increase awareness of healthy food choices and positively influence self-reported dietary behavioral changes in the college population (Peterson, Duncan, Null, Roth & Gill, 2010). The purpose of this study is to compare the effectiveness of educational messages that promote intake of healthy food items versus messages that discourage intake of unhealthy food items on food selection and body weight in first year college students. Methods: The 9-month study will recruit and randomly assign 90 subjects. Thirty participants in Group A will be educated biweekly via email on healthy food behaviors to adopt. Thirty participants in Group B will be educated biweekly via email on unhealthy food behaviors to eliminate. Thirty participants in the control group will not receive any nutrition education messages. The educational component will be generated from the Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2015-2020 using the recommendations for creating a shift toward healthy eating behaviors. Pre-and post-intervention height and weight measurements and food frequency data will be obtained from all participants. Expected Results/Interpretation: The food frequency questionnaires will gather data about nutrient-dense and calorie-dense food selection. A weight trend will be collected during the 9-month intervention. The impact of different nutrition education approaches will be analyzed and compared. Conclusion/Implications: The results may help determine if different nutrition education messages influence dietary behaviors and weight status in first year college students.

Download or read book Sustainable healthy diets written by Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and published by Food & Agriculture Org.. This book was released on 2019-10-15 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Considering the detrimental environmental impact of current food systems, and the concerns raised about their sustainability, there is an urgent need to promote diets that are healthy and have low environmental impacts. These diets also need to be socio-culturally acceptable and economically accessible for all. Acknowledging the existence of diverging views on the concepts of sustainable diets and healthy diets, countries have requested guidance from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) on what constitutes sustainable healthy diets. These guiding principles take a holistic approach to diets; they consider international nutrition recommendations; the environmental cost of food production and consumption; and the adaptability to local social, cultural and economic contexts. This publication aims to support the efforts of countries as they work to transform food systems to deliver on sustainable healthy diets, contributing to the achievement of the SDGs at country level, especially Goals 1 (No Poverty), 2 (Zero Hunger), 3 (Good Health and Well-Being), 4 (Quality Education), 5 (Gender Equality) and 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and 13 (Climate Action).
