To compare food purchasing behaviors and diet quality of foods purchased between men and women who were the primary food purchaser for their households.
Food purchasing was measured via itemized receipts. The dietary composition of purchased foods was derived using the Nutrition Data System for Research and quality was assessed using the Healthy Eating Index-2010.
Men comprised 17.2% of the household primary food purchasers in the sample (n = 204). There were no differences by gender in the number of items purchased or the number of receipts. Men made fewer purchases at stores (74.0%) than did women (81.4%; P < .001). There were no gender differences in the quality of foods purchased overall or by source of purchase.
In primary purchasers, purchasing behaviors varied by gender but not purchases did not. Food purchasing interventions should include both genders for greatest impact.
比较作为家庭主要食物购买者的男性和女性的食物购买行为以及购买食物的饮食质量。
通过逐项收据来衡量食物购买情况。购买食物的饮食成分是使用研究营养数据系统得出的,质量是使用 2010 年健康饮食指数来评估的。
在样本中,男性占家庭主要食物购买者的 17.2%(n=204)。在购买的商品数量和收据数量方面,性别之间没有差异。男性在商店购买的商品较少(74.0%),而女性则较多(81.4%;P<.001)。在购买食物的总体质量或购买来源方面,男女之间没有差异。
在主要购买者中,购买行为因性别而异,但购买行为没有差异。食物购买干预措施应该同时针对男女双方,以产生最大的影响。
