To examine the extent to which the gendered division of labour persists within households in the USA in regard to meal planning/preparation and food shopping activities.
Secondary analysis of cross-sectional data.
2007-2008 US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Sub-sample of 3195 adults at least 20 years old who had a spouse or partner.
Analyses revealed that the majority of women and men reported they shared in both meal planning/preparing and food shopping activities (meal planning/preparation: women 54 % and men 56 %; food shopping: women 60 % and men 57 %). Results from multinomial logistic regression analyses indicated that, compared with men, women were more likely to take primary responsibility than to share this responsibility and less likely to report having no responsibility for these tasks. Gender differences were observed for age/cohort, education and household size.
This study may have implications for public health nutritional initiatives and the well-being of families in the USA.
探讨在美国的家庭中,在膳食计划/准备和食品采购活动方面,性别分工持续存在的程度。
横断面数据的二次分析。
2007 - 2008年美国国家健康与营养检查调查。
3195名至少20岁且有配偶或伴侣的成年人的子样本。
分析显示,大多数女性和男性报告称他们在膳食计划/准备和食品采购活动中都有参与(膳食计划/准备:女性占54%,男性占56%;食品采购:女性占60%,男性占57%)。多项逻辑回归分析结果表明,与男性相比,女性更有可能承担主要责任而非分担责任,且不太可能报告对这些任务没有责任。在年龄/队列、教育程度和家庭规模方面观察到了性别差异。
本研究可能对美国的公共卫生营养倡议和家庭福祉产生影响。
