Abstract:
Young adults (18-24 years) in universities are frequently exposed to an environment that promotes unhealthy eating behaviors. Using a validated tool, the Chinese Nutrition Environment Measurement Survey for Stores (C-NEMS-S), we assess the food availability and healthier options in a large, urban Chinese university. We employed C-NEMS-S for scoring criteria and weighting. A total of 52 on-campus canteen outlets were audited in an urban university located in Shijiazhuang City, China. General food outlets (n 43) and self-served food outlets (n 7) were further categorized into eight subtypes. Beverage outlets (n 2) were discussed separately from food outlets. C-NEMS-S scores were significantly different across food outlet types (P = 0.0024), especially between noodle and rice outlets (P = 0.0415). Food availability scores for starchy tubers (P < 0.001), dry beans (P < 0.001), vegetables (P = 0.0225), and fruits (P < 0.001) were significantly different across food outlet subtypes. Healthier options were scarce and only appeared in \"grains\" (n 2) and \"meat and poultry\" (n 2) categories. Further research on improving the accustomed audit tool and assessing university student diet quality is warranted.
摘要:
大学中的年轻人(18-24岁)经常暴露于促进不健康饮食行为的环境中。使用经过验证的工具,中国营养环境测量调查(C-NEMS-S),我们评估了大量的食物供应和更健康的选择,中国城市大学。我们采用C-NEMS-S进行评分标准和加权。对位于石家庄市的某城市高校共52家校内食堂网点进行了审计,中国。一般食品商店(n43)和自助食品商店(n7)进一步分为八个亚型。饮料出口(n2)与食品出口分开讨论。C-NEMS-S评分在不同的食物出口类型(P=0.0024),尤其是在面条和米饭之间(P=0.0415)。淀粉块茎的食物可用性得分(P<0.001),干豆(P<0.001),蔬菜(P=0.0225),和水果(P<0.001)在食物出口亚型之间存在显着差异。更健康的选择很少,仅出现在“谷物”(n2)和“肉类和家禽”(n2)类别中。需要进一步研究改善习惯的审计工具和评估大学生的饮食质量。
