The adoption of policies promoting healthier restaurant food environments is contingent on their acceptability. Limited evidence exists regarding individual characteristics associated with restaurant food environment policy acceptability, especially health-related characteristics. This study examined associations between health characteristics and restaurant food environment policy acceptability among urban Canadians.
Links between health characteristics and complete agreement levels with selected policies were examined using data in the cross-sectional survey study, that is, a large pan-Canadian study on policy acceptability. For each policy, several logistic multilevel regression analyses were conducted.
Canada's seventeen most populated census metropolitan areas.
Urban Canadian adults responded to the survey ( 27 162).
Body mass index was not associated with acceptability after adjustments for other health and sociodemographic characteristics were made. Across all policies and analyses, those reporting excellent or very good health statuses were more likely to be in complete agreement with targeted policies than those with good health statuses. For selected policies and analyses, those reporting poor health statuses were also more likely to be in complete agreement than those describing their health status as good. For all policies and analyses, both those consuming restaurant-prepared foods daily and those never consuming these foods were more likely to be in complete agreement than those consuming these foods once per week.
More research is needed to explain discrepancies in acceptability according to health characteristics. Bringing this study's findings to the attention of policymakers may help build momentum for policy enactment.
促进更健康的餐厅食品环境的政策的采用取决于其可接受性。关于与餐厅食品环境政策可接受性相关的个体特征，尤其是与健康相关的特征，现有证据有限。本研究调查了加拿大城市居民的健康特征与餐厅食品环境政策可接受性之间的关联。
使用横断面调查研究中的数据，即一项关于政策可接受性的大型全加拿大研究，来检验健康特征与对选定政策的完全同意程度之间的联系。针对每项政策，进行了几次逻辑多层回归分析。
加拿大人口最多的17个普查大都市区。
加拿大城市成年人对该调查做出了回应（27162人）。
在对其他健康和社会人口学特征进行调整后，体重指数与可接受性无关。在所有政策和分析中，报告健康状况极佳或非常好的人比健康状况良好的人更有可能完全同意目标政策。对于选定的政策和分析，报告健康状况较差的人也比将自己的健康状况描述为良好的人更有可能完全同意。在所有政策和分析中，每天食用餐厅准备食物的人和从不食用这些食物的人比每周食用一次这些食物的人更有可能完全同意。
需要更多研究来解释根据健康特征在可接受性方面的差异。将本研究的结果提请政策制定者注意可能有助于推动政策的制定。
