Baseline data from the Health and Behavior in Teenagers Study (HABITS) were used to investigate associations between stress and dietary practices in a socioeconomically and ethnically diverse sample of 4,320 schoolchildren (mean age = 11.83 years). Male (n = 2,578) and female (n = 1,742) pupils completed questionnaire measures of stress and 4 aspects of dietary practice (fatty food intake, fruit and vegetable intake, snacking, and breakfast consumption) and also provided demographic and anthropometric data. Multivariate analyses revealed that greater stress was associated with more fatty food intake, less fruit and vegetable intake, more snacking, and a reduced likelihood of daily breakfast consumption. These effects were independent of individual (gender, weight) and social (socioeconomic status, ethnicity) factors. Stress may contribute to long-term disease risk by steering the diet in a more unhealthy direction.
青少年健康与行为研究（HABITS）的基线数据被用于调查压力与饮食习惯之间的关联，该研究样本涵盖了4320名社会经济背景和种族各异的学童（平均年龄 = 11.83岁）。男学生（n = 2578）和女学生（n = 1742）完成了压力问卷调查以及饮食习惯4个方面（脂肪类食物摄入量、水果和蔬菜摄入量、吃零食情况以及早餐食用情况）的调查，同时还提供了人口统计学和人体测量学数据。多变量分析显示，更大的压力与更多的脂肪类食物摄入、更少的水果和蔬菜摄入、更多的吃零食行为以及更低的每日早餐食用可能性相关。这些影响独立于个体因素（性别、体重）和社会因素（社会经济地位、种族）。压力可能通过将饮食导向更不健康的方向而增加长期患病风险。
