UNASSIGNED: In an online survey, a diverse sample of 340 Los Angeles County adults reported eating identities, dietary beliefs, and self-efficacy, dietary behaviors and BMI.
UNASSIGNED: Pearson correlations revealed that identifying more as a healthy eater was positively associated with self-reports of being non-Hispanic White, non-Hispanic mixed race, older, and college-educated, while identifying more as a meat eater was positively associated with self-reports of being non-Hispanic Black, younger, and male (α = 0.05). Pearson correlations also showed that healthy eaters had more accurate dietary beliefs and self-efficacy, and emotional eaters had lower self-efficacy (α = 0.05). In linear regressions, identifying more as a healthy eater was associated with self-reporting healthier dietary behaviors and lower BMI, and identifying more as a meat eater and emotional eater was associated with reporting less healthy dietary behaviors and higher BMI, even after accounting for correlations with socio-demographics, dietary beliefs, and self-efficacy (α = 0.05).
UNASSIGNED: Our findings highlight the importance of eating identities in understanding dietary behaviors and outcomes, with implications for dietary interventions.

■皮尔逊相关性表明,确定更多的健康饮食与非西班牙裔白人的自我报告呈正相关,非西班牙裔混血儿,年长的,受过大学教育,虽然确定更多的肉食者与非西班牙裔黑人的自我报告呈正相关,年轻,和男性(α=0.05)。皮尔逊相关性还表明,健康的饮食者有更准确的饮食信念和自我效能,情绪饮食者的自我效能感较低(α=0.05)。在线性回归中,确定更多的健康饮食者与自我报告更健康的饮食行为和更低的BMI相关,识别更多的肉食者和情绪食者与报告不太健康的饮食行为和更高的BMI有关,即使在考虑了与社会人口统计学的相关性之后,饮食信念,和自我效能感(α=0.05)。
