The study objectives were to a) explore the association between household income and nationality and Sugar-Sweetened Beverage (SSB) enablers and barriers, and b) inform public health policy and health promotion.
A Cross-sectional Study in the UAE.
Nationally representative population survey was used to capture demographic and SSB behaviour data.
We recruited 7500 participants into the study and received 1290 responses (17.2% participation rate). We report statistically significant associations between household income, nationality, and enablers and barriers. In some instances, similar enablers and barriers were reported by household income and nationality.
There are several associations between household income, nationality and SSB enablers, and barriers. These associations should be considered for future public health policy and health promotion decision-making to reduce SSB consumption. In addition, further research is needed to explore how other demographic factors (modifying variables) are associated with SSB enablers and barriers.
本研究的目的是:a)探讨家庭收入、国籍与含糖饮料(SSB)的促进因素和障碍之间的关联,以及b)为公共卫生政策和健康促进提供信息。
在阿联酋进行的一项横断面研究。
采用具有全国代表性的人口调查来获取人口统计学和含糖饮料行为数据。
我们招募了7500名参与者进入研究,共收到1290份回复(参与率为17.2%)。我们报告了家庭收入、国籍与促进因素和障碍之间具有统计学意义的关联。在某些情况下,家庭收入和国籍报告的促进因素和障碍相似。
家庭收入、国籍与含糖饮料的促进因素和障碍之间存在多种关联。在未来公共卫生政策和健康促进决策中应考虑这些关联,以减少含糖饮料的消费。此外,还需要进一步研究,以探讨其他人口因素(修正变量)如何与含糖饮料的促进因素和障碍相关联。
