Investigate the relationship between use of Nutrition Facts labels on packaged foods and weight-related behaviors.
Cross-sectional survey in 2015-2016.
Young adult respondents (n = 1,817; 57% women; average age 31.0 ± 1.6 years) to the Project Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults-IV survey, the fourth wave of a longitudinal cohort study.
Use of Nutrition Facts labels on packaged foods; healthy, unhealthy, and extreme weight control behaviors; intuitive eating; binge eating.
Linear and logistic regression models were adjusted for age, ethnicity/race, education, income, and weight status.
In women, greater Nutrition Facts use was associated with a 23% and 10% greater likelihood of engaging in healthy and unhealthy weight control behaviors, respectively, and a 17% greater chance of engaging in binge eating. In men, greater label use was associated with a 27% and 17% greater likelihood of engaging in healthy and unhealthy weight control behaviors, respectively, and a lower level of intuitive eating.
Professionals advising patients and clients on weight management may consider possible gender differences in response to weight loss and management guidance. Since label use was related to engagement in some unhealthy behaviors in addition to healthy behaviors, it is important to consider how individuals may use labels, particularly those at risk for, or engaging in, disordered eating behaviors. Future research investigating potential relationships between Nutrition Facts use, intuitive eating, and binge eating is needed.
调查包装食品上使用营养成分标签与体重相关行为之间的关系。
2015-2016 年的横断面调查。
青少年和年轻人饮食与活动研究 IV 调查的年轻成年受访者（n=1817；57%为女性；平均年龄 31.0±1.6 岁），这是一项纵向队列研究的第四波调查。
包装食品上使用营养成分标签；健康、不健康和极端体重控制行为；直觉饮食；暴食。
线性和逻辑回归模型调整了年龄、族裔/种族、教育、收入和体重状况。
在女性中，更多地使用营养成分标签与更大概率分别参与健康和不健康的体重控制行为相关，分别增加了 23%和 10%，并且暴食的可能性增加了 17%。在男性中，更多地使用标签与更大概率分别参与健康和不健康的体重控制行为相关，分别增加了 27%和 17%，并且直觉饮食水平降低。
为患者和客户提供体重管理建议的专业人士可能需要考虑对减肥和管理指导的反应可能存在性别差异。由于标签使用与某些不健康行为的参与有关，除了健康行为之外，还需要考虑个人如何使用标签，特别是那些有饮食失调行为风险或正在参与饮食失调行为的人。需要进一步研究调查营养成分标签使用、直觉饮食和暴食之间的潜在关系。
