■这项横断面研究调查了生活方式之间的关联,饮食习惯,食物偏好,消费模式,阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)的女大学生肥胖。
■大约4,728名参与者,包括阿联酋和非阿联酋学生(国际学生)。数据收集涉及面对面访谈和人体测量,显示女大学生的食物偏好与肥胖之间存在相互关联的关系。
■虽然社会人口统计学因素和生活习惯导致肥胖,这项研究特别关注食物偏好和食物消费模式在体重状况中的作用。研究结果揭示了高糖饮料的摄入量之间的显着相关性,例如牛奶,果汁,软饮料,和能量饮料-以及阿联酋和非阿联酋人群超重和肥胖的风险增加。值得注意的是,在非阿联酋人群中,牛奶消费与肥胖尤其相关(F=88.1,p<0.001),在非阿联酋人群中,牛奶消费与超重状态尤其相关(F=7.73,p<0.05).果汁和软饮料的消费与肥胖有关。此外,观察到超重和肥胖学生对水果和蔬菜的显著偏好,表明了选择更健康食物的趋势。然而,也明显偏爱高热量,低营养食物,如加工肉类,糖果,和咸小吃。像汉堡这样的快餐食品,炸鸡,薯条,披萨,沙瓦玛,薯片,面条与体重增加状态显着相关,尤其是沙瓦玛,这表明与肥胖和超重状态的高度相关性(F值分别为38.3和91.11)。
■该研究表明,食物选择塑造与体重相关的结果对于设计有效的策略以促进更健康的饮食模式很重要。
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study investigated the associations between lifestyle, eating habits, food preferences, consumption patterns, and obesity among female university students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
UNASSIGNED: Approximately 4,728 participants, including both Emirati and Non-Emirati students (International Students). Data collection involved face-to-face interviews and anthropometric measurements, showing an interrelated relationship between food preferences and obesity among female university students.
UNASSIGNED: While sociodemographic factors and lifestyle habits contribute to obesity, this study uniquely focuses on the role of food preferences and food consumption patterns in body weight status. The findings reveal a significant correlation between the intake of high-sugar beverages-such as milk, juices, soft drinks, and energy drinks-and an increased risk of overweight and obesity among both Emirati and Non-Emirati populations. Notably, milk consumption was particularly associated with obesity in non-Emirati populations (F = 88.1, p < 0.001) and with overweight status in Non-Emiratis (F = 7.73, p < 0.05). The consumption of juices and soft drinks was linked to obesity. Additionally, a significant preference for fruits and vegetables among overweight and obese students was observed, indicating a trend toward healthier food choices. However, there was also a clear preference for high-calorie, low-nutrient foods such as processed meats, sweets, and salty snacks. Fast food items like burgers, fried chicken, fries, pizza, shawarma, chips, and noodles were significantly correlated with increased body weight status, especially shawarma, which showed a notably high correlation with both obesity and overweight statuses (F-values of 38.3 and 91.11, respectively).
UNASSIGNED: The study indicated that food choices shape weight-related outcomes is important for designing effective strategies to promote healthier dietary patterns.
