Abstract

Objective. To assess the determinants of snack intake among college students with overweight/obesity during COVID-19 pandemic. We hypothesized that younger and male students, those from minority background, those experiencing higher stress levels, and those with higher accessibility/availability of unhealthy snacks would snack more frequently or consume more unhealthy snack choices. Methods. This was a secondary analysis of the baseline data obtained from the Snackability trial, a trial testing the efficacy of a smartphone application for improving the quality of snack intake in US college students with overweight/obesity. Participants completed a survey on socio-demographics, stress levels, and snack patterns at the baseline visit (n=298). Analyses included correlation, Mann–Whitney U test, Kruskal–Wallis, and logistic regressions. Results. Most students were females 81.9%, 40.9% were whites, and 55.7% had a household income

在COVID-19大流行期间，超重/肥胖大学生的零食摄入量及其与性别、收入、压力和零食供应的关系

目标。评估COVID-19大流行期间超重/肥胖大学生零食摄入量的决定因素。我们假设年轻的和男性的学生、少数族裔背景的学生、压力水平较高的学生、以及更容易获得/获得不健康零食的学生会更频繁地吃零食或选择更多不健康的零食。方法。这是对从Snackability试验中获得的基线数据的二次分析，该试验测试了智能手机应用程序对改善美国超重/肥胖大学生零食摄入质量的功效。参与者在基线访问时完成了一项关于社会人口统计、压力水平和零食模式的调查(n=298)。分析包括相关性、Mann-Whitney U检验、Kruskal-Wallis检验和logistic回归。结果。81.9%的学生为女生，40.9%为白人，55.7%的学生有家庭收入
