An online cross-sectional survey examined the relationships between the demographic characteristics, personal values, trust in sources of nutrition information and the use of convenience food outlets among middle-class household food providers in the Asia-Pacific region.
The survey was administered to 3945 household food providers in Melbourne, Singapore, Shanghai, Vietnam and Indonesia in late 2013. Information about demographics, personal values, trust in sources of nutrition information and use of convenience food outlets was elicited. Exploratory factor analysis, two-step clustering and logistic regression were employed.
The analyses found that the use of convenience food outlets was positively related to hedonist values and trust in food industry sources of nutrition information. However, lesser use of convenience food outlets and trust in health sources of nutrition information was associated with traditional (community-oriented) values.
Further replication and extension of these findings would be useful. However, they suggest that improvements in the quality of foods sold in convenience food outlets combined with stronger regulation of food marketing and long-term food education are required.
一项在线横断面调查研究了亚太地区中产阶级家庭食物提供者的人口统计学特征、个人价值观、对营养信息来源的信任以及对便利食品店的使用之间的关系。
2013年末,对墨尔本、新加坡、上海、越南和印度尼西亚的3945名家庭食物提供者进行了调查。收集了有关人口统计学、个人价值观、对营养信息来源的信任以及对便利食品店的使用等信息。采用探索性因素分析、两步聚类和逻辑回归方法。
分析发现,对便利食品店的使用与享乐主义价值观以及对食品行业营养信息来源的信任呈正相关。然而,较少使用便利食品店以及对健康营养信息来源的信任与传统(以社区为导向)价值观相关。
进一步重复和扩展这些发现将很有意义。然而,它们表明需要提高便利食品店所售食品的质量,加强对食品营销的监管并开展长期的食品教育。
