Score on a scale of attitude towards the consumption of five high-fat foods and their low-fat alternatives was correlated with the energy percentage of fat in the diet across 419 subjects. Attitudes towards low-fat alternatives were more positive than towards high-fat foods. Mean energy percentage of fat in the diet was 38.8% (SD 7.1). The attitude scale explained 25% of the variance in percentage energy as fat. Test-retest reliability of the attitude scale (n = 25) was 0.92 (95% confidence limits 0.82 and 0.97). The reproducibility of energy percentage fat in the diet (n = 33) was 0.64 (95% confidence limits 0.38 and 0.81). Differences in attitude score were found between men and women, subjects following a dietary treatment and those who did not, and subjects with a fat intake according to the Dutch dietary guidelines and those who had not (p < 0.001). Fat intake (expressed as percentage of energy intake) differed between age groups (p < 0.05), and between subjects following a special diet and those who did not (p < 0.001). No difference in attitude score or energy percentage of fat was found for education level, occupation level, body mass index or household size. It is concluded that attitudes towards high-fat foods and their low-fat alternatives are useful in understanding fat intake.
对419名受试者而言，对五种高脂肪食物及其低脂替代品的消费态度评分与饮食中脂肪的能量百分比相关。对低脂替代品的态度比对高脂肪食物的态度更积极。饮食中脂肪的平均能量百分比为38.8%（标准差7.1）。态度量表解释了脂肪能量百分比中25%的方差。态度量表（n = 25）的重测信度为0.92（95%置信区间为0.82和0.97）。饮食中脂肪能量百分比的可重复性（n = 33）为0.64（95%置信区间为0.38和0.81）。发现男性与女性、接受饮食治疗的受试者与未接受饮食治疗的受试者、脂肪摄入量符合荷兰饮食指南的受试者与不符合的受试者之间在态度评分上存在差异（p < 0.001）。脂肪摄入量（以能量摄入量的百分比表示）在不同年龄组之间存在差异（p < 0.05），在接受特殊饮食的受试者与未接受特殊饮食的受试者之间也存在差异（p < 0.001）。在教育水平、职业水平、体重指数或家庭规模方面，未发现态度评分或脂肪能量百分比存在差异。得出的结论是，对高脂肪食物及其低脂替代品的态度有助于理解脂肪摄入量。
