Abstract:
There are studies on the effect of general nutrition education on diet quality and anthropometric measurements, while studies showing the effectiveness of sustainable nutrition education, which also addresses the effect of food on the environment, are quite limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sustainable nutrition education on diet quality, anthropometric measurements, and the carbon footprint (CFP) and water footprint (WFP) of diet. A total of 160 university students received 1 h of sustainable nutrition education for 6 weeks. Before, at the end of, and 2 months after the courses, 24 h food consumption records were taken to assess diet quality and CFP and WFP values of diet, and Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2020 scores were evaluated. The results of the study showed that sustainable nutrition education increased MedDiet score by 1.86 points and HEI-2020 score by 7.38 points. This education program also decreased body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass, and neck circumference. Sustainability education has a positive impact on calcium, potassium, and magnesium intakes, a negative impact on vitamin B12 and zinc intakes, and no effect on total protein intake. Education resulted in a 22% reduction in CFP and a 10% reduction in WFP.
摘要:
有关于一般营养教育对饮食质量和人体测量的影响的研究,虽然研究表明可持续营养教育的有效性,这也解决了食物对环境的影响,是相当有限的。本研究旨在探讨可持续营养教育对饮食质量的影响,人体测量,以及饮食的碳足迹(CFP)和水足迹(WFP)。共有160名大学生接受了为期6周的1小时可持续营养教育。之前,在结束时,课程结束后两个月,获取24小时食物消耗记录以评估饮食质量以及CFP和WFP的饮食价值,评估地中海饮食(MedDiet)和健康饮食指数(HEI)-2020评分。研究结果表明,可持续营养教育使MedDiet得分提高了1.86分,HEI-2020得分提高了7.38分。这项教育计划还降低了体重,体重指数(BMI),脂肪量,和颈围。可持续发展教育对钙有积极影响,钾,和镁摄入量,对维生素B12和锌摄入量的负面影响,对总蛋白质摄入量没有影响。教育导致CFP减少了22%,粮食计划署减少了10%。
