Abstract:
Few young Japanese adults regularly consume a well-balanced diet composed of staples, main courses, and sides. We hypothesised that adopting the recommended planetary health diet with regular breakfast consumption would promote well-balanced diets among young Japanese male undergraduates. This study aimed to examine the structural association between the planetary health diet with regular breakfast consumption and a well-balanced diet intake. This cross-sectional study included 142 male engineering undergraduates who completed a 2022 online questionnaire via Google Forms at a public university in Hyogo Prefecture. The planetary health diet comprises the consumption of the recommended eight items. A covariance structure analysis was performed in a hypothetical model with factors (regular breakfast consumption and eight items) potentially associated with the intake of a well-balanced diet at least twice daily. After excluding chicken dishes and nuts from the eight recommended items of the planetary health diet, goodness-of-fit became acceptable. Frequent consumption of the remaining six recommended items (fish, eggs, soybeans/soybean products, dairy foods, vegetables, and fruits) was significantly positively correlated with regular breakfast consumption and a significant positive path to a well-balanced diet. Among male university students, regular breakfast consumption and the planetary health diet may lead to a well-balanced diet.
摘要:
很少有年轻的日本成年人经常食用由主食组成的均衡饮食,主要课程,和侧面。我们假设采用推荐的行星健康饮食并定期食用早餐将促进日本年轻男性本科生的均衡饮食。这项研究旨在研究行星健康饮食与常规早餐消费和均衡饮食摄入之间的结构关联。这项横断面研究包括142名男性工程本科生,他们通过GoogleForms在兵库县的一所公立大学完成了2022年在线问卷调查。行星健康饮食包括推荐的八个项目的消费。在假设模型中进行协方差结构分析,该模型具有可能与每天至少两次摄入均衡饮食相关的因素(常规早餐消费和八个项目)。在将鸡肉和坚果从行星健康饮食的八个推荐项目中排除之后,适合度变得可以接受。经常食用其余六种推荐物品(鱼,鸡蛋,大豆/大豆产品,乳制品,蔬菜,和水果)与常规早餐消费显着正相关,并且是实现均衡饮食的显着积极途径。在男大学生中,经常吃早餐和行星健康饮食可能会导致均衡的饮食。
