Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To associate motivation with diet quality in older people (OP) who practice running. METHODS: Cross-sectional observational analytical study, which was applied to a probabilistic sample of OP who practice running. Each participant was applied a survey including sociodemographic variables and experiences concerning the practice of Running, diet quality questionnaire for OP (ECAAM, for its acronym in Spanish) and the Motivation of Marathoners Scales-34 (MOMS-34) were used. RESULTS: The total number of participants was 68, who were mostly men (69.1%), the predominant age was 60–69 years (69.1%). Women showed a higher proportion in diet quality when compared to men (71.4% vs 36.2%). The association between motivation subscales and food groups showed that the Weight Concern subscale was associated with junk food (Δ=1.55 (95% CI: 0.58; 2.52). The Personal goal achievement-Competition subscale was associated with meat (Δ=1.81 (95% CI: 0.62; 3.00). Recognition was associated with meat (Δ=1.12 (95% CI: 0.22; 2.03), and Health Orientation with alcohol (Δ=0.76 (95% CI: 0.02; 1.50). CONCLUSIONS: Motivation is positively associated with diet in OP who practice running, especially for the motivation subscales Weight Concern, Personal goal achievement-Competition, Recognition and Health orientation.

老年跑步者的动力与饮食质量之间的关系

目的：将练习跑步的老年人（OP）的动机与饮食质量联系起来。方法：横断面观察分析研究，对练习跑步的老年人进行概率抽样。对每位参与者进行了一项调查，内容包括社会人口变量和跑步经历、老年人饮食质量问卷（ECAAM，西班牙文缩写）和马拉松运动员动机量表-34（MOMS-34）。结果：参与调查的总人数为 68 人，大部分为男性（69.1%），主要年龄为 60-69 岁（69.1%）。与男性相比，女性的饮食质量比例更高（71.4% 对 36.2%）。动机分量表与食物类别之间的关联显示，体重关注分量表与垃圾食品相关（Δ=1.55 (95% CI: 0.58; 2.52)）。个人目标实现-竞争分量表与肉类有关（Δ=1.81（95% CI：0.62；3.00）。认可与肉类相关（Δ=1.12（95% CI：0.22；2.03）），健康取向与酒精相关（Δ=0.76（95% CI：0.02；1.50））。结论：在进行跑步的 OP 中，动机与饮食呈正相关，尤其是在体重关注、个人目标实现-竞争、认可和健康取向等动机分量表中。

期刊介绍： Nutrition and Healthy Aging is an international forum for research on nutrition as a means of promoting healthy aging. It is particularly concerned with the impact of nutritional interventions on the metabolic and molecular mechanisms which modulate aging and age-associated diseases, including both biological responses on the part of the organism itself and its micro biome. Results emanating from both model organisms and clinical trials will be considered. With regards to the latter, the journal will be rigorous in only accepting for publication well controlled, randomized human intervention trials that conform broadly with the current EFSA and US FDA guidelines for nutritional clinical studies. The journal will publish research articles, short communications, critical reviews and conference summaries, whilst open peer commentaries will be welcomed.
