BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study investigated the relationship between adolescent food-related lifestyles and food-related media use and eating behavior in Korea.
SUBJECTS/METHODS: Participants were 392 Korean adolescents, ranging in age from 12 to 18, recruited via convenience sampling. They completed a self-report questionnaire survey consisting of questions about food-related lifestyle, food-related media use, food consumption behavior, food literacy, and nutrition quotient. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS 29.0. (IBM Co., Armonk, NY, USA).
The factor analysis of food-related lifestyles identified four factors. Based on the cluster analysis results, participants were classified into three clusters reflecting different levels of interest: high interest in food, moderate interest in food, and low interest in food. The analysis revealed significant differences between groups in food-related liestyle factors ( < 0.05). Notably, the high-interest group demonstrated proactive engagement with food-related content, a willingness to explore diverse culinary experiences, and a conscientious consideration of nutritional labeling during food purchases. In contrast, the low-interest group reported tendencies toward overeating or succumbing to stimulating food consumption post-exposure to food-related content, coupled with a disregard for nutritional labeling when making food choices. A stronger inclination toward a food-related lifestyle was positively correlated with higher levels of food literacy and nutrition quotient.
This study proposes that the implementation of a nutrition education program using media could effectively promote a healthy diet among adolescents with a high level of interest in their dietary habits. For adolescents with low interest in their dietary habits, it suggests that introducing an education program with a primary focus on enhancing food literacy could be beneficial in fostering a healthy diet. Our research findings provide insight for the development of tailored nutritional education programs and establishment of effective nutrition policies.
背景/目的：本研究调查了韩国青少年与食物相关的生活方式、与食物相关的媒体使用情况以及饮食行为之间的关系。
对象/方法：通过便利抽样招募了392名年龄在12至18岁之间的韩国青少年作为参与者。他们完成了一份自我报告问卷调查，内容包括与食物相关的生活方式、与食物相关的媒体使用情况、食物消费行为、食物素养和营养商数等问题。使用SPSS 29.0（美国纽约州阿蒙克市IBM公司）进行数据分析。
与食物相关的生活方式的因子分析确定了四个因子。根据聚类分析结果，参与者被分为反映不同兴趣水平的三个类别：对食物高兴趣、对食物中等兴趣和对食物低兴趣。分析显示，在与食物相关的生活方式因子方面，各组之间存在显著差异（<0.05）。值得注意的是，高兴趣组表现出积极参与与食物相关的内容，愿意探索多样化的烹饪体验，并且在购买食物时认真考虑营养标签。相比之下，低兴趣组报告称，在接触与食物相关的内容后有暴饮暴食或容易受到刺激性食物消费影响的倾向，并且在选择食物时忽视营养标签。对与食物相关的生活方式有更强的倾向与更高水平的食物素养和营养商数呈正相关。
本研究提出，实施一项利用媒体的营养教育计划可以有效地促进对饮食习惯有高兴趣的青少年养成健康的饮食习惯。对于对饮食习惯低兴趣的青少年，建议引入一个主要侧重于提高食物素养的教育计划可能有助于培养健康的饮食习惯。我们的研究结果为制定量身定制的营养教育计划和建立有效的营养政策提供了见解。
