To investigate the existence and trajectory of diet disparities among college students from different socioeconomic statuses (SESs).
A random sample of freshman and sophomore students was invited to participate in an online survey on eating behaviors. Ordinary least squares regressions were fit to 148 complete responses to examine the association between family income ≤200% of the federal poverty level and overall, healthy, and unhealthy food consumption.
Low-SES students reported eating significantly more unhealthy food during their freshman year than their non-low-SES peers. This difference is not statistically significant for second-year students and robust to on-campus spending power.
Disparities in diets for students from different socioeconomic backgrounds that were observed in the freshman year of college were absent in the sophomore year. Awareness of these disparities and trend is important to broadly promote healthy eating.
调查不同社会经济地位（SES）大学生之间饮食差异的存在和轨迹。
邀请随机抽取的大一和大二学生参加一项关于饮食行为的在线调查。采用普通最小二乘法对 148 个完整回复进行拟合，以检验家庭收入≤联邦贫困水平 200%与整体、健康和不健康食物消费之间的关系。
低 SES 学生报告说，他们在大一期间食用的不健康食物明显多于非低 SES 同龄人。对于大二学生，这一差异并不显著，并且在校园消费能力方面具有稳健性。
在大学一年级观察到的来自不同社会经济背景的学生之间的饮食差异在大二时不存在。意识到这些差异和趋势对于广泛促进健康饮食很重要。
