To assess the dietary quality and determine the influence of food-away-from-home (FAFH) on dietary quality and weight status among faculty and staff. Faculty and staff ( = 152) from a public university completed an online Food Frequency Questionnaire. Number of FAFH consumed per week, dietary intakes, dietary quality as assessed by the Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2015, and body mass index (BMI) were measured. : On average participants consumed FAFH four times per week. FAFH was associated with increased intake of trans-fats ( < 0.05) and reduced HEI scores ( < 0.01). Increased consumption of trans-fats was associated with a high BMI ( < 0.001). Conversely, an increase in the HEI-2015 score was associated with a reduction in BMI ( < 0.05). Results suggest that the consumption of FAFH increased the intake of trans-fats and decreased diet quality, while improvements in diet quality, as measured by the HEI-score, were associated with reduced BMI among faculty and staff.
评估教职工的饮食质量，并确定外出就餐（FAFH）对其饮食质量和体重状况的影响。一所公立大学的152名教职工完成了一份在线食物频率问卷。测量了每周外出就餐的次数、饮食摄入量、通过2015年健康饮食指数（HEI）评估的饮食质量以及体重指数（BMI）。结果显示：参与者平均每周外出就餐4次。外出就餐与反式脂肪摄入量增加（P<0.05）和HEI得分降低（P<0.01）相关。反式脂肪摄入量增加与高BMI相关（P<0.001）。相反，HEI-2015得分增加与BMI降低相关（P<0.05）。结果表明，外出就餐会增加反式脂肪的摄入量并降低饮食质量，而通过HEI得分衡量的饮食质量改善与教职工BMI降低相关。
