The purpose of this study was to assess the availability of worksite supports (WSS) for healthy eating and examine associations between existing supports and dietary behaviors.
A cross-sectional, telephone-based study was conducted with 2013 participants in four metropolitan areas in 2012. Logistic regression was used to examine associations between dietary behaviors and the availability or use of WSS.
Those reporting the availability of a cafeteria/snack bar/food services at the worksite were more likely to consume fruits and vegetables more than twice/day, and less likely to consume fast food more than twice/week.
Study results highlight the utility of specific WSS to improve employee dietary behaviors while raising questions about why the presence of healthy foods at the worksite may not translate into employee consumption of such foods.
本研究旨在评估工作场所支持措施(WSS)对健康饮食的可用性,并检验现有支持措施与饮食行为之间的关联。
2012年对四个大都市地区的2013名参与者进行了一项基于电话的横断面研究。采用逻辑回归分析来检验饮食行为与WSS的可用性或使用情况之间的关联。
报告工作场所有自助餐厅/小吃店/餐饮服务的人,每天食用水果和蔬菜两次以上的可能性更大,每周食用快餐两次以上的可能性更小。
研究结果凸显了特定WSS对改善员工饮食行为的作用,同时也引发了关于为何工作场所提供健康食品却可能无法转化为员工对这些食品的消费的疑问。
