Dietary quality of Hispanic/Latino adults residing in homes with children may differ by gender, that in turn, may impact youth through role modeling and food availability. Using a nationally representative sample ( = 1039) from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2011-2016), adjusted regression analyses were used to examine food-related practices, food group intake, and dietary quality among Hispanic/Latino men and women in homes with children (6-17 years). Compared to women, men had lower total 2015 Healthy Eating Index (HEI) scores and component HEI scores for healthy food groups. Men also ate more meals that were not home prepared/week and purchased more foods from non-grocery stores than women. Negative food-related practices and working more hours/week may explain in part the lower dietary quality observed among Hispanic/Latino men than women. Interventions may be improved by targeting gender-specific food-related behaviors that could positively impact dietary quality of youth residing with them.
居住在有孩子的家庭中的西班牙裔/拉丁裔成年人的饮食质量可能因性别而异，而这种差异又可能通过榜样作用和食物供应对青少年产生影响。本研究使用了全国健康和营养检查调查（2011-2016 年）的一个全国代表性样本（n = 1039），采用调整后的回归分析方法，考察了家中有 6-17 岁儿童的西班牙裔/拉丁裔男性和女性的与食物相关的行为、食物组的摄入和饮食质量。与女性相比，男性的 2015 年健康饮食指数（HEI）总分和健康食物组的 HEI 分量得分较低。此外，男性每周在家外就餐的次数更多，从非杂货店购买的食物也更多。负面的与食物相关的行为和每周工作更多小时可能部分解释了与女性相比，西班牙裔/拉丁裔男性饮食质量较低的原因。通过针对可能对与他们一起生活的年轻人的饮食质量产生积极影响的特定于性别的与食物相关的行为，干预措施可能会得到改善。
