To identify healthy food (HF) purchase habits and intake of fruits and vegetables (FV) in parents responsible for grocery shopping for their families.
Survey with mothers and fathers (n = 216) of children aged 7-10 years in Brazil.
Grocery purchases occurred mostly at supermarkets. Purchase of HF was considered to be frequent by 80% of parents, who cited FV as main examples of HF. The more frequent the reported purchase was of HF, the higher was the prevalence of regular consumption of FV (P = .002). Only 34% of respondents reported weekly intakes that could be classified as regular.
Perceived frequent shopping for healthy foods was positively associated with regular consumption of FV but a gap between perception and behavior was identified. Nutrition education strategies need to go beyond a merely informative role and take consumers' opinions and points of view into consideration to become truly effective.
确定负责为家人采购食品杂货的父母的健康食品购买习惯以及水果和蔬菜的摄入量。
对巴西7至10岁儿童的父母(n = 216)进行调查。
食品杂货大多在超市购买。80%的父母认为经常购买健康食品,他们将水果和蔬菜作为健康食品的主要例子。报告购买健康食品越频繁,经常食用水果和蔬菜的比例就越高(P = .002)。只有34%的受访者报告每周摄入量可归类为规律摄入。
认为经常购买健康食品与经常食用水果和蔬菜呈正相关,但发现认知与行为之间存在差距。营养教育策略需要超越仅仅提供信息的角色,考虑消费者的意见和观点,才能真正有效。
