Childhood and adolescent obesity is an increasing public health problem. Fast food consumption has been linked to obesity. The purpose of this study is to determine adolescent calorie and fat consumption patterns at different types of restaurants.
Study subjects (104 adolescents) were asked to order a dinner meal from 10 restaurant menus with an estimate of how much they would actually consume. A paired T-test was used to compare the calories and fat values for each restaurant vs. McDonald's.
Mean calories/fat (g) ordered at each restaurant were: California Pizza Kitchen (CPK).: 1284/70, Chili's (Ch). 1333/62, Denny's (Den): 1226/61, McDonald's (MD): 1016/45, Outback Steakhouse (OS): 1656/93, Panda Express (PE): 873/29, Red Lobster (RL): 1016/49, Stuart Anderson's (SA). 1058/52, Taco Bell (TB): 800/34, Wendy's (Wen): 879/32. Calorie/fat content of the ordered items were significantly higher at CPK, Ch, Den, and OS compared to McDonald's. RL and SA were not significantly different from MD. Calorie/fat content of the ordered items were significantly lower at PE, TB and Wen compared with McDonald's.
More calories/fat were ordered at many sit down restaurants compared to McDonald's. The lowest calories/fat were ordered at other fast food restaurants (Taco Bell, Wendy's and Panda Express).
儿童及青少年肥胖是一个日益严重的公共卫生问题。快餐消费与肥胖有关。本研究的目的是确定青少年在不同类型餐厅的卡路里和脂肪消费模式。
研究对象(104名青少年)被要求从10份餐厅菜单中选择一顿晚餐,并估计他们实际会摄入的量。采用配对t检验比较每家餐厅与麦当劳的卡路里和脂肪含量。
每家餐厅所点食物的平均卡路里/脂肪(克)含量分别为:加利福尼亚披萨厨房(CPK):1284/70,智利餐厅(Ch):1333/62,丹尼餐厅(Den):1226/61,麦当劳(MD):1016/45,澳拜客牛排店(OS):1656/93,熊猫快餐(PE):873/29,红龙虾餐厅(RL):1016/49,斯图尔特·安德森餐厅(SA):1058/52,塔可钟(TB):800/34,温迪餐厅(Wen):879/32。与麦当劳相比,CPK、Ch、Den和OS所点食物的卡路里/脂肪含量显著更高。RL和SA与MD没有显著差异。与麦当劳相比,PE、TB和Wen所点食物的卡路里/脂肪含量显著更低。
与麦当劳相比,许多休闲餐厅所点食物的卡路里/脂肪更多。其他快餐店(塔可钟、温迪餐厅和熊猫快餐)所点食物的卡路里/脂肪含量最低。
