Knowledge of nutritional aspects, the practice of physical activity, body satisfaction, and explanation of mood is a topic of great relevance in the field of nutrition, as it allows us to understand in a more exhaustive way the implications of the eating pattern on satisfaction with people's lives. The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between nutritional knowledge, dietary pattern, physical activity, mood, body satisfaction, and life satisfaction in vegetarian and nonvegetarian Colombian adults. Study with a quantitative, observational, multivariate, correlational, and cross-sectional approach. The variables dietary pattern, nutritional knowledge, physical activity, mood, body satisfaction, and life satisfaction were analyzed. The sample ( = 478) included the participation of vegetarians ( = 157) and nonvegetarians ( = 321); the selection of the sample was carried out by nonprobabilistic accidental sampling. The data were collected through an online questionnaire, processed using SPSS version 26 and R version 4.4.2, and analyzed with descriptive statistics. The effect size was calculated based on mean differences, and Spearman's Rho correlation test was applied, considering a significance level of 0.05. In vegetarians, physical activity showed a positive correlation with mood ( = 0.210, < 0.01). Body dissatisfaction demonstrated a significant negative correlation with life satisfaction ( = -0.26, < 0.01) and mood ( = -0.28, < 0.01). Body dissatisfaction showed a significant positive correlation with BMI ( = 0.30, < 0.01). Life satisfaction was positively correlated with mood ( = 0.54, < 0.01). Nutritional knowledge exhibited a significant negative correlation with BMI ( = -0.17, < 0.05). Mood also showed a significant positive correlation with BMI ( = 0.16, < 0.05). Among nonvegetarians, body dissatisfaction was negatively and significantly correlated with life satisfaction ( = -0.29, < 0.01) and positively correlated with BMI ( = 0.29, < 0.01). Life satisfaction was significantly positively correlated with mood ( = 0.42, < 0.01) and negatively correlated with BMI ( = -0.12, < 0.05). Nutritional knowledge showed a positive correlation with life satisfaction ( = 0.14, < 0.05), while mood was negatively correlated with body dissatisfaction ( = -0.36, < 0.01). These results suggest the importance of nutritional education and its need to adopt a comprehensive approach that includes dietary aspects and considers the relationship between diet, physical activity, and emotional well-being to promote healthy habits and a better quality of life.
营养方面的知识、体育活动的实践、身体满意度以及情绪解释是营养领域中极具相关性的话题，因为它能让我们更详尽地了解饮食模式对人们生活满意度的影响。本研究的目的是确定哥伦比亚素食和非素食成年人的营养知识、饮食模式、体育活动、情绪、身体满意度和生活满意度之间的关系。采用定量、观察、多变量、相关和横断面研究方法。对饮食模式、营养知识、体育活动、情绪、身体满意度和生活满意度等变量进行了分析。样本（n = 478）包括素食者（n = 157）和非素食者（n = 321）；样本选择采用非概率偶遇抽样。通过在线问卷收集数据，使用SPSS 26版和R 4.4.2版进行处理，并进行描述性统计分析。基于均值差异计算效应量，并应用斯皮尔曼等级相关检验，显著性水平为0.05。在素食者中，体育活动与情绪呈正相关（r = 0.210，p < 0.01）。身体不满意与生活满意度呈显著负相关（r = -0.26，p < 0.01）和情绪呈显著负相关（r = -0.28，p < 0.01）。身体不满意与BMI呈显著正相关（r = 0.30，p < 0.01）。生活满意度与情绪呈正相关（r = 0.54，p < 0.01）。营养知识与BMI呈显著负相关（r = -0.17，p < 0.05）。情绪与BMI也呈显著正相关（r = 0.16，p < 0.05）。在非素食者中，身体不满意与生活满意度呈显著负相关（r = -0.29，p < 0.01），与BMI呈正相关（r = 0.29，p < 0.01）。生活满意度与情绪呈显著正相关（r = 0.42，p < 0.01），与BMI呈负相关（r = -0.12，p < 0.05）。营养知识与生活满意度呈正相关（r = 0.14，p < 0.05），而情绪与身体不满意呈负相关（r = -0.36，p < 0.01）。这些结果表明营养教育的重要性，以及需要采取一种综合方法，包括饮食方面，并考虑饮食、体育活动和情绪健康之间的关系，以促进健康习惯和提高生活质量。
