To examine students’ school food choice in relation to school food standards and entitlement to free school meals (FSM).
Cross-sectional analysis of students’ school food choices.
Two large secondary schools in Yorkshire, England.
Students (n 2660) aged 11–18 years.
Sandwiches and pizza were the most popular main food items: 40·4 % and 31·2 %, respectively, in School A; 48·3 % and 27·3 %, respectively, in School B. More nutritionally valuable ‘dishes of the day’ accounted for 8·7 % and 8·3 % of main foods for School A and School B, respectively. FSM students were more likely (P < 0·0 0 1) to choose main foods (School A: FSM 87·04 %, non-FSM 70·28 %; School B: FSM 75·43 %, non-FSM 56·13 %). Dishes of the day were chosen on a significantly greater (P < 0·0 0 1) percentage of days by FSM v. non-FSM students (School A: FSM 15·67 %, non-FSM 7·11 %; School B: FSM 19·42 %, non-FSM 5·17 %).
Despite the availability of nutritionally valuable dishes of the day, the most popular food items were sandwiches, pizza and desserts. FSM students were more likely to choose the more nutritionally valuable dish of the day. School food standards should be reassessed in light of students’ preferences.
研究学生的学校食物选择与学校食物标准和免费校餐(FSM)资格的关系。
学生学校食物选择的横断面分析。
英格兰约克郡的两所大型中学。
年龄在 11-18 岁的学生(n=2660)。
三明治和披萨是最受欢迎的主食:A 校分别为 40.4%和 31.2%;B 校分别为 48.3%和 27.3%。更具营养价值的“当日特色菜”分别占 A 校和 B 校主食的 8.7%和 8.3%。FSM 学生更有可能(P < 0.001)选择主食(A 校:FSM 87.04%,非 FSM 70.28%;B 校:FSM 75.43%,非 FSM 56.13%)。FSM 学生比非 FSM 学生更倾向于选择特色菜(A 校:FSM 15.67%,非 FSM 7.11%;B 校:FSM 19.42%,非 FSM 5.17%)。
尽管有营养丰富的特色菜,但最受欢迎的食物仍是三明治、披萨和甜点。FSM 学生更有可能选择更具营养价值的特色菜。应根据学生的喜好重新评估学校的食物标准。
