The objective of this study was to examine the individual contributions of food literacy and health promotion literacy components to healthy eating habits. By exploring these relationships, we aim to enhance our understanding of the factors that shape individuals' dietary choices and behaviors. In 2022, a cross-sectional study was conducted using survey methodology. The study sample was selected using the cluster sampling method, and data was collected using a standardized questionnaire among women aged 18 and older in Kermanshah city in western Iran. The findings of the study revealed that 26.4% of women demonstrated high levels of food knowledge, 44.4% exhibited high food skills, and 28.4% displayed high resilience. Additionally, 38.5% of participants demonstrated high health promotion literacy, while 47.9% exhibited high levels of healthy eating habits. Furthermore, the results indicated a significant relationship between the components of food literacy and healthy eating habits. Notably, an increase in health promotion literacy was found to positively correlate with improved healthy eating habits. Given that a significant proportion of women in the study exhibited low levels of food knowledge, it becomes crucial to prioritize efforts to enhance women's understanding of nutrition and food-related information.
本研究旨在探讨食品素养和健康促进素养成分对健康饮食习惯的个体贡献。通过探索这些关系，我们旨在增强对塑造个体饮食选择和行为的因素的理解。2022 年，采用横断面研究方法进行了一项研究。使用聚类抽样方法选择研究样本，并在伊朗西部克尔曼沙阿市的 18 岁及以上女性中使用标准化问卷收集数据。研究结果显示，26.4%的女性具有较高的食品知识水平，44.4%具有较高的食品技能，28.4%具有较高的适应力。此外，38.5%的参与者表现出较高的健康促进素养，而 47.9%则表现出较高的健康饮食习惯。此外，研究结果表明食品素养的各个成分与健康饮食习惯之间存在显著关系。值得注意的是，健康促进素养的提高与健康饮食习惯的改善呈正相关。鉴于研究中有相当一部分女性的食品知识水平较低，因此优先努力提高女性对营养和与食品相关信息的理解至关重要。
