This study investigated the eating habits of pupils in Nigerian primary schools based on the respective education levels of their parents.Data were obtained using the Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CEBQ). Participants included a total of 144 pupils who were purposively selected from 6 primary schools. Based on responses, a cross-sectional analytic study design was implemented to investigate how parental education levels (PELs) influenced the eating habits of their children. Data assessment was performed using a one-way between-group analysis of variance at the .05 probability level.PELs significantly affected the eating habits of participants, respectively. Specifically, low PEL was associated with more satiety responsiveness to food (F [2, 141] = 14.251, P < .001), higher responsiveness to food (F [2, 141] = 36.943, P = <.001) greater food enjoyment (F [2, 141] = 93.322, P < .001), greater drinking desires (F [2, 141] = 23.677, P < .001), and the tendency for emotional over-eating (F [2, 141] = 13.428, P < .001), while high PEL was associated with slower eating (F [2, 141] = 11.665, P < .001), fussier responses to food (F [2, 141] = 14.865, P < .001), and a higher tendency for emotional under-eating (F [2, 141] = 5.137, P < .01).This study examined PELs in relation to the respective eating habits of their children, who were attending Nigerian primary schools. Data showed that children with parents who had high, middle, and low education levels tended to exhibit progressively worse eating habits, in descending order.
本研究基于尼日利亚小学生父母的各自教育水平,调查了这些小学生的饮食习惯。数据通过儿童饮食行为问卷(CEBQ)获得。参与者共有144名小学生,他们是从6所小学中经过有目的地挑选出来的。根据回答情况,采用横断面分析研究设计来调查父母教育水平(PELs)如何影响其子女的饮食习惯。数据评估是在概率水平为0.05时使用组间单因素方差分析进行的。父母教育水平分别对参与者的饮食习惯产生了显著影响。具体而言,低父母教育水平与对食物更高的饱腹感反应性相关(F [2, 141] = 14.251,P <.001)、对食物更高的反应性(F [2, 141] = 36.943,P = <.001)、更高的食物享受程度(F [2, 141] = 93.322,P <.001)、更高的饮水欲望(F [2, 141] = 23.677,P <.001)以及情绪性暴饮暴食的倾向(F [2, 141] = 13.428,P <.001),而高父母教育水平与进食较慢相关(F [2, 141] = 11.665,P <.001)、对食物更挑剔的反应(F [2, 141] = 14.865,P <.001)以及情绪性进食不足的更高倾向(F [2, 141] = 5.137,P <.01)。本研究考察了父母教育水平与其在尼日利亚小学就读子女各自饮食习惯之间的关系。数据显示,父母教育水平高、中、低的孩子,其饮食习惯往往依次逐渐变差。
