Assess how intuitive eating relates to dietary intake.
Survey data were collected in Project Eating and Activity in Teens and Young Adults, the fourth wave of a longitudinal cohort study (weighted n = 1,830, 49% women; mean age = 31 years). Intuitive eating was assessed using a 7-item scale adapted from the Intuitive Eating Scale and Intuitive Eating Scale-2. Dietary intake was measured via a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. Mean servings were stratified by gender and intuitive eating quartiles and adjusted for sociodemographic characteristics and caloric intake.
Women and men in the top intuitive eating quartile consumed 0.6-0.3 servings more fruit and 0.4-0.6 servings more vegetables daily, respectively, compared with the bottom quartile, whereas men in the top quartile also consumed 0.6 servings fewer whole grains (all P < 0.05) than the bottom quartile.
Intuitive eating shows promise as a healthier alternative to practices such as dieting.
评估直觉饮食与饮食摄入的关系。
在青少年和年轻人的饮食与活动项目中收集了调查数据，这是一项纵向队列研究的第四波（加权 n=1830，49%为女性；平均年龄为 31 岁）。使用从直觉饮食量表和直觉饮食量表-2改编的 7 项量表评估直觉饮食。通过半定量食物频率问卷测量饮食摄入。根据性别和直觉饮食四分位数对平均份数进行分层，并根据社会人口特征和热量摄入进行调整。
与最低四分位数相比，处于最高直觉饮食四分位的女性和男性每天分别多摄入 0.6-0.3 份水果和 0.4-0.6 份蔬菜，而最高四分位的男性每天也比最低四分位少摄入 0.6 份全谷物（均 P < 0.05）。
直觉饮食作为节食等做法的更健康替代方案显示出了希望。
