{"title":"Perception and practice of junk food consumption among undergraduate students in a medical university in Chengalpattu District”","authors":"Gunaseelan Latha Kokilaa, Ravichandhiran Gowthamkarthic, Abhinandan Wali, Soumya Agadi","doi":"10.26596/wn.202314327-35","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26596/wn.202314327-35","url":null,"abstract":"IntroductionJunk foods are defined as processed foods with negligible nutrient value and are often high in salt, sugar, and fat. Junk foods with high sugar content deplete energy levels and the ability to concentrate for extended periods, especially for college students who are forced to consume junk food to curb their hunger as it gives them a sense of pleasure. Due to low prices and affordability, they consume junk food as an alternative to home food.&#x0D; MethodologyThis was a cross-sectional study carried out among undergraduate medical college students in the Chengalpattu district by systematic random sampling. A semi-structured questionnaire which was framed after reviewing similar works of literature was used to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice regarding junk food consumption. The collected data were entered into MS Excel and analyzed using SPSS version 21. P value <0.05 was considered significant.&#x0D; ResultsOf the 260 participants, 51% were males and 49% were females with a mean age of 20±2.0 years. 65% of the respondents had adequate knowledge regarding the harmful effects of junk food consumption and their BMI scores tended to be in the normal range. 45% of participants felt lethargic after consuming junk food. Chi-square revealed a statistically significant association between the student’s year of study (0.004) and their knowledge score, suggesting that the knowledge level was higher for interns.&#x0D; ConclusionThe present study concludes that most participants had adequate knowledge of junk food consumption patterns. Nutrition counseling regarding a balanced diet and the harmful effects of junk foods may help to curb junk food addiction.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279761","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Opposite ends of the spectrum: Does emotional eating present more barriers to applying mindful eating and intuitive eating strategies for females?","authors":"Meryem KAHRIMAN, Nese KAYA","doi":"10.26596/wn.202314314-26","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26596/wn.202314314-26","url":null,"abstract":"Objective We aimed to evaluate the relationship between intuitive eating, mindful eating, emotional eating and dietary restraint behaviors and the role of gender in these relationships.&#x0D; Material and Method This study was conducted with 522 participants aged 18-65. Questionnaire about sociodemographic characteristics and general eating habits, Intuitive Eating Scale-2 (IES-2), Mindful Eating Questionnaire-30 (MEQ-30), and Emotional Eating and Restraint Eating Subscale of Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ) were administered to the participants.&#x0D; Results DEBQ Restraint Eating, and Emotional Eating subscale scores were found to be higher in women. The total scores of IES-2 and MEQ-30 were found to be higher in the group with Body Mass Index (BMI)<25, and the DEBQ Emotional Eating subscale score was found to be higher in the group with BMI≥25. The negative correlation between DEBQ Emotional Eating subscale score and IES-2 total score was weak in men and strong in women. The negative relationship between MEQ-30 total score and DEBQ Emotional Eating subscale score was moderate in men and strong in women. We found that gender had a moderator role between IES-2 and MEQ-30 total scores and between MEQ-30 total score and DEBQ Emotional Eating score.&#x0D; Conclusion Overweight and obese participants had lower levels of intuitive eating and mindful eating, while emotional eating levels were higher. Mindful eating and intuitive eating strategies may be concepts that represent two opposite ends of a spectrum with emotional eating, and emotional eating can be an obstacle when these strategies are administered, especially in women.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"The quality of Indian diets: A comparison of two indices to predict risk of dietary inadequacies linked to non-communicable diseases","authors":"Srishti Mediratta, Pulkit Mathur","doi":"10.26596/wn.202314336-47","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.26596/wn.202314336-47","url":null,"abstract":"Nutritional inadequacies lead to various health problems among Indians. Improvements in diets can be addressed when different aspects of diet quality are known. The primary objective of the study was to assess diet quality of Indian adults belonging to the high-income group. The study also wanted to compare the suitability of two diet quality indices for use in the Indian scenario. A cross sectional study design with non-probability purposive sampling was used to collect data from 589 adults (20-40 years) in Delhi, India. Nutrient intake was assessed using the 24- hour dietary recall method. Two internationally recognized diet quality indices - Diet Quality Index- International Score (DQI-I) and the Global Diet Quality Score (GDQS) were selected to measure diet quality. 78% of the participants had poor diet quality using the DQI-I; the average score was 56.4 ± 5.6. The average DQI-I component scores for variety, adequacy, moderation and overall balance were 13.1±2.6, 27.5±2.2, 15.3±2.9, 0.43±0.9 respectively. Females were more likely (OR=2.07, 95% C.I.: 1.26 – 3.401) to have DQI-I scores in the lowest quartile (p=0.04). 88% had a moderate risk of nutritional inadequacy while 11% were at a high risk of nutritional inadequacy on the basis of their GDQS scores, the average of which was 16.9±2.1. There was a positive association between GDQS and DQI- I scores (ρ =0.316, p<0.001). The GDQS is better for assessing nutrient adequacy with healthy and unhealthy food consumption being compared. On the other hand, DQI-I gives a composite score combining the nutrient and food group intake and observes variety, adequacy, moderation and overall balance. Behaviour change communication strategies that encourage healthier food selection and promote dietary diversity may help improve nutritional quality of diets in Indian populations such as this one.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136279752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While there are several causes, standing out among them is the marketing practices of commercial milk formula (CMF) and commercial complementary foods (CCF). This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted using qualitative and quantitative methodology, between August 2018 and August 2020. Regarding the promotion, advertising and labeling of CMF and CCF, none of the companies in Argentina at the time complied with the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes or the related laws in force in the country. The multiple forms of violation found emphasize the need to establish and strengthen monitoring and enforcement mechanisms to curb abuses by the CMF and CCF industry in Argentina, safeguarding the rights of mothers, families, and their newborns. Likewise, the Government must lead the political process and adapt its regulatory framework in terms of transparency and conflict of interest, as well as generate comprehensive and intersectoral public policies on the protection of breastfeeding.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"92 4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76357145","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

University students are exposed to unhealthy eating habits and poor dietary intake. This could be attributable to the independent food choices made. This study assessed the drivers of food choice, patterns, and lifestyle habits of undergraduate students at Lead City University Ibadan, Nigeria.Method: The study adopted a cross-sectional design and a multistage random sampling technique to select 200 respondents. Data on socio-demographic characteristics, eating habits, and dietary practices were obtained using a self-administered questionnaire.Results: The mean age of the students was 21 ± 2 years,46% of the students ate thrice per day, 36% skipped breakfast daily and 17% consumed alcohol. The main drivers of food choice among the students were sensory appeal in which taste (79%), pleasant texture (54%), and nice smell (54%) of food were considered very important. Concerning health and natural food content, the respondents considered good feeling (74%), weight control (48%), no additives (46%), low-fat content (42%), and low-calorie content (35%) as very important associated factors. Good value for money (53%), not expensive (42%), and easy availability (49%) were very important economic factors for driving food choices among respondents.Conclusion: Sensory appeal, health and natural food content, and price and purchase convenience were major drivers of food choice among respondents. It is recommended that regular nutrition education programs by the institution with emphasis on healthy dietary practices should be provided for the students.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"106 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73426274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This condition has become a major non-communicable disease threatening sub-Saharan Africa, and its prevalence is rising in middle and low-income countries. This study objective was to determine the prevalence and predictors of hypertension among company workers in Rivers State, NigeriaMethodsThis analytical and cross-sectional study used a multi-stage sampling technique to recruit 296 company workers in Rivers State, Nigeria. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to obtain the respondents’ demographics, lifestyle, and healthcare characteristics. Respondents’ weight and height were measured using standard procedures. Blood pressure was determined by standard practice and criteria as defined by WHO and International Society of Hypertension. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and logistic regression at p< 0.05 level of significance.Results64.9% of the respondents were married and 59.5% were male. 52.0% drank alcohol, and 7.4% smoked. While 67.2% claimed they were not hypertensive, 22.6% don’t know their blood pressure status, and 58.1% were physically inactive. The prevalence of hypertension was 33.4%, and the prevalence of overweight and obesity was 43.6% and 15.2%, respectively. Predictors of hypertension in the study population were sex (male) (p<0.001), age >40 (p<0.001), alcohol consumption (any) (p<0.05), physical activity (≤rarely) (p<0.001) and BMI (≥25) (p<0.001) of the respondents.ConclusionThere was a high prevalence of hypertension and presence of modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors among the population. Therefore, both secondary and primary prevention require attention, in the latter case, comprehensive population-wide and workstation interventions, including behavioral change and communication interventions that are context-specific, should be implemented.","PeriodicalId":23779,"journal":{"name":"World review of nutrition and dietetics","volume":"14 37 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85607808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
