Abstract

OBJECTIVE To determine if using the Snackability app improves snack intake among college students. PARTICIPANTS US college students with overweight/obesity were recruited in June 2020-April 2021. METHODS A randomized controlled trial was conducted to test the Snackability app use for 12 wk on snack scores (calculated from the app) compared to controls. We also explored the effect on diet quality (Healthy Eating Index-2015) and weight. Outcomes were compared between the intervention and the control groups at 4, 8, and 12 wk using repeated measures ANOVA. RESULTS Participants in the app group significantly increased snack score at week 4 (p < 0.001) and week 8 (p = 0.015) and increased HEI-2020 score (p < 0.001) at week 4 compared to controls. The first 4 wk had the highest app usage. No significant differences were seen in body weight. CONCLUSIONS The Snackability app can be used as a tool to help improve snack and diet quality in this group.
使用零食适用性应用程序对美国超重和肥胖大学生零食质量的影响:随机对照试验
目的确定使用 Snackability 应用程序是否能改善大学生的零食摄入量。方法与对照组相比,我们进行了一项随机对照试验,测试使用 Snackability 应用程序 12 周对零食得分(通过应用程序计算)的影响。我们还探讨了对饮食质量(健康饮食指数-2015)和体重的影响。结果与对照组相比,应用组的参与者在第 4 周(p < 0.001)和第 8 周(p = 0.015)的零食得分显著增加,在第 4 周的 HEI-2020 得分显著增加(p < 0.001)。前 4 周的应用程序使用率最高。结论:Snackability 应用程序可作为一种工具,帮助改善该群体的零食和饮食质量。
