The Relationship

The present systematic review examined the relationship between nutrition knowledge and dietary intake in adults (mean age ≥ 18 years). Relevant databases were searched from the earliest record until November 2012. Search terms included: nutrition; diet or food knowledge and energy intake; feeding behaviour; diet; eating; nutrient or food intake or consumption. Included studies were original research articles that used instruments providing quantitative assessment of both nutrition knowledge and dietary intake and their statistical association. The initial search netted 1 193 393 potentially relevant articles, of which twenty-nine were eligible for inclusion. Most of them were conducted in community populations (n22) with fewer (n7) in athletic populations. Due to the heterogeneity of methods used to assess nutrition knowledge and dietary intake, a meta-analysis was not possible. The majority of the studies (65·5 %: community 63·6 %; athletic 71·4 %) reported significant, positive, but weak (r< 0·5) associations between higher nutrition knowledge and dietary intake, most often a higher intake of fruit and vegetables. However, study quality ranged widely and participant representation from lower socio-economic status was limited, with most participants being tertiary educated and female. Well-designed studies using validated methodologies are needed to clarify the relationship between nutrition knowledge and dietary intake. Diet quality scores or indices that aim to evaluate compliance to dietary guidelines may be particularly valuable for assessing the relationship between nutrition knowledge and dietary intake. Nutrition knowledge is an integral component of health literacy and as low health literacy is associated with poor health outcomes, contemporary, high-quality research is needed to inform community nutrition education and public health policy.

Children's Learning

BACKGROUND The design and use of serious video games for children have increased in recent years. To maximize the effects of these games, it is essential to understand the children’s experiences through playing. Previous studies identified that enjoyment and user experience satisfaction of the players are principal factors that can influence the success of serious video games and the learning of their players. However, research about the relationship between enjoyment and user experience satisfaction with learning in children 8 to 10 years old is sparse. OBJECTIVE We examined the relationship of enjoyment and user experience satisfaction with the learning of children aged 8 to 10 years while playing a serious video game for health, FoodRateMaster. This serious video game teaches children about the characteristics of healthy and unhealthy foods and how to identify them in their environment. METHODS Children aged 8 to 10 years were recruited from a primary school in Mexico. Participants completed 12 individual gaming sessions with FoodRateMaster in 6 weeks. A food knowledge questionnaire was administered before and after game play to assess the players’ food knowledge. In addition, after the gaming sessions, the children’s enjoyment and user experience satisfaction were evaluated using the EGameFlow questionnaire and the Game User Experience Satisfaction Scale (GUESS) questionnaire. RESULTS We found significant positive associations for children’s (n=60) posttest knowledge with enjoyment (r<sub>58</sub>=0.36, <i>P</i>=.005) and user experience satisfaction (r<sub>58</sub>=0.27, <i>P</i>=.04). The children’s posttest knowledge scores were also positively correlated with challenge (r<sub>58</sub>=0.38, <i>P</i>=.003), knowledge improvement (r<sub>58</sub>=0.38, <i>P</i>=.003), and goal clarity (r<sub>58</sub>=0.29, <i>P</i>=.02) EGameFlow subscales and with narrative (r<sub>58</sub>=0.35, <i>P</i>=.006), creative freedom (r<sub>58</sub>=0.26, <i>P</i>=.04), and visual esthetics (r<sub>58</sub>=0.32, <i>P</i>=.01) GUESS subscales. Regression analysis indicated that the EGameFlow (F<sub>7,52</sub>=2.74, <i>P</i>=.02, R<sup>2</sup>=0.27) and the GUESS (F<sub>8,51</sub>=2.20, <i>P</i>=.04, R<sup>2</sup>=0.26) ratings significantly predicted the children’s posttest knowledge scores. EGameFlow challenge (β=0.40, <i>t</i><sub>52</sub>=2.17, <i>P</i>=.04) and knowledge improvement (β=0.29, <i>t</i><sub>52</sub>=2.06, <i>P</i>=.04) subscales significantly contributed to predicting children’s learning. None of the GUESS subscales significantly contributed to predicting children’s learning. CONCLUSIONS The findings of this study suggest that both enjoyment and user experience satisfaction for children aged 8 to 10 years were positively correlated with their learning and that were significant predictors of it. Challenge, knowledge improvement, narrative, creative freedom, and visual esthetics subscales correlated positively with children’s learning. In addition, challenge and knowledge improvement contributed to predicting their learning. These results are relevant to consider during the design stages of serious games developed for young children’s learning purposes.

Background: Overweight and obesity becomes a problem that not only occurs in adulthood but also started from childhood. The direct cause overweight is food consumption pattern, while the factors that can affect of it such as :the role of friends, the role of parents, pocket money and perceptions of snacks.Objectives: This study aimed to analyze the relationship between the role of friends,the role of parents, pocket money and perceptions of snacks with overweight incidents in school children.Methods: This research with a case control design study involved 110 respondents with 55 case samples, and 55 control samples. Data were analyzed using chi-square test and linear regression.Results: The results showed that was a significant correlation between the role of parents (p= 0.006)), the role of friends (p= 0.000), perceptions of snack (p= 0.045), pocket money (p= 0.023) with overweight incidence.Conclusion: The role of friends and perceptions of snacks show positive correlation that could be at risk for overweight incidents, meanwhile the role of parents show a protective factors for overweight incidents. It is suggested to give nutrition education to school children, so that they have the correct perception about snacks and the parents to pay attention about healthy snacks to prevent overweight incidents in school children.ABSTRAKLatar Belakang : Gizi lebih (obesitas dan overweight) menjadi permasalahan yang tidak hanya terjadi pada saat dewasa tetapi mulai dari anak-anak, tak terkecuali anak sekolah. Faktor penyebab langsung gizi lebih adalah pola makan, sedangkan faktor yang dapat mempengaruhi pola makan antara lain peran teman, peran orang tua, besaran uang saku dan persepsi terhadap jajanan.Tujuan : Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis hubungan peran teman, peran orang tua, besaran uang saku dan persepsi terhadap jajanan dengan kejadian gizi lebih pada anak sekolah.Metode : Penelitian ini menggunakan desain studi case control yang melibatkan 110 anak sekolah, dengan sampel kasus sebanyak 55 dan sampel kontrol sebanyak 55 dengan analisis data menggunakan uji chi square dan uji regresi linear.Hasil : Hasil uji regresi linear menunjukkan bahwa ada hubungan yang signifikan antara peran orang tua (p= 0.006), peran teman (p= 0.000), persepsi terhadap jajanan (p= 0.045), dan besaran uang saku (p= 0.023) dengan kejadian gizi lebih pada anak sekolah.Kesimpulan: Peran teman dan persepsi terhadap jajanan menunjukkan hubungan positif yang dapat beresiko terhadap kejadian gizi lebih,sedangkan peran orang tua dapat menjadi faktor yang protektif terhadap gizi lebih. Saran penelitian, perlu pendidikan gizi untuk anak sekolah agar memiliki persepsi yang benar terhadap jajanan dan orang tua perlu memperhatikan pemilihan jajanan sehat untuk mencegah kejadian gizi lebih pada anak sekolah.

This article is the result of a project conducted during my tenure with the Expanded Food and Nutrition Education Program (EFNEP). Before my hire, the director of EFNEP had hired a geographic information system (GIS) technician to create a GIS to spatially depict EFNEP clients' accessibility to food resources. By visually representing the relationship between low-income populations and the localities of food stores in Baltimore city, the GIS powerfully illustrated the relative lack of food resources in low-income areas of the city, suggesting serious obstacles to food access. However, when conceiving this type of GIS, it is essential to recognize that although geographic information systems can suggest potential hypotheses, drawing causal relationships between represented variables is problematic because GISs ignore the many behavioral and perceptual factors that affect human beings' decisions. For this reason, I was hired on a four-month contract to conduct an exploratory ethnographic project to complement the GIS.

Background: Studies exploring adolescent dietary patterns (DP) and nutritional status often focus on in-school adolescents with limited data on out-of-school adolescents. Methods: We sampled 190 out-of-school adolescents on an apprenticeship in Agbowo community, Ibadan, Nigeria. Anthropometric measurements, weight (kg), and height (cm) were taken (to determine the height-for-age and body-mass-index-for-age z-scores) using the WHO AnthroPlus and WHO cut-off points to classify stunting and overweight/obesity. The frequency of food consumption was assessed using an 84-item food frequency questionnaire. The DP was extrapolated using principal component analysis. Bivariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were used to assess the relationship between sociodemographic variables, anthropometric indices, and DP at P<0.05. Results: Mean age was 16.9±1.9 years, 61.6% were females and 58.4% had mothers who had at least secondary education. Overall, 12.1% were stunted and 9.5% were overweight/obese. Stunting was significantly more prevalent (P=0.005) among males (20.5%) than females (6.8%). Males had higher odds for stunting [OR: 3.48 (1.39, 8.75) P=0.008], and a lower odds of adhering to a ‘healthy’ DP; [OR: 0.42 (0.22, 0.80), P=0.009]. Also, adolescents with mothers who had at least a secondary school education were less likely to adhere to an ‘unhealthy’ DP [0.26 (0.11, 0.59), P=0.001]. Conclusion: Targeted nutrition education is needed to address unhealthy dietary patterns, particularly among out-of-school adolescent boys.

Welfare is an important thing that concerns all countries in the world, including Indonesia. Welfare is not only measured materially but also spiritually measured. Materially, welfare is measured by one's wealth, health, nutrition, education, assets, housing, and certain rights in society. While spiritually well-being is measured by perceived happiness. This study discusses the application of the structural equation model to examine the relationship between welfare indicators in Central Java Province. The model-built places education and employment as exogenous latent variables, while objective well-being and subjective well-being are endogenous latent variables. The data used to support the analysis were sourced from BPS, the results of the 2012 KOR National Social Economic Survey and MSBP, with a sample size of 6730 observations. The modeling results obtained by the model are quite feasible to explain the diversity of data, which is indicated by the value of GFI 0.97, AGFI 0.96, RMSEA 0.039, and RMSR 0.072. The analysis shows that education and employment have a direct influence on objective well-being and an indirect effect on subjective well-being. The effect of education on the level of welfare is higher than the effect of work.

AbstractObjectives:To assess and contrast awareness of the link between dietary fibre and folate and their major food sources (fruit, vegetables, bread and cereals).Design and setting:Mailed questionnaire investigating changes made to dietary intake of fibre, folate, fruit, vegetables, bread and cereals in the previous six months.Setting:The survey was conducted between June and November 1998 in the Australian Capital Territory.Subjects:One thousand one hundred and twenty-six adults randomly selected from the electoral roll.Results:More women than men in both older (50 + years) and younger (18–49 years) age groups reported increasing their consumption of folate, fibre, fruit and vegetables in the prior six months. In contrast, more men than women reported increased consumption of bread, cereals, rice and pasta in the previous six months. For food categories and fibre, less than 4% of respondents were unsure about changes in these food habits. However, 26% of men and women were ‘not sure’ about changes to folate intake. Similar proportions of men and women (about 33%) reported consuming more fruit, vegetables or cereal-based foods over the prior six months, yet only 6% of these men and 14% of these women reported consuming more folate. In contrast, 44% of men and 51% of women who reported consuming more plant foods also reported consuming more dietary fibre.Conclusions:The results suggested that subjects, particularly the younger age group, had a poor understanding of the relationship between folate intake and its major food sources. The understanding of the relationship between fibre intake and its food sources appeared substantial, but confusion about specific food sources was still evident. These outcomes question the effectiveness of nutrition education used to date, particularly for the current priority of increasing folate intake in younger women in the new, ‘health claims’ environment.

BACKGROUND The impact of integrating video into health education delivery has been extensively investigated; however, the effect of integrating video on a learner’s subsequent performance in an online educational setting is rarely reported. Results of the relationship between the learner’s online video viewing and subsequent progression toward health behavior change in a self-directed online educational session are lacking. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to determine the relationship between viewing a Health eKitchen online video and key engagement performance indicators associated with online nutrition education for women, infants, and children (WIC). METHODS This study involved a retrospective cohort of users grouped on the basis of whether Health eKitchen exposure occurred before or after completing a nutrition education lesson. A two-sample test for equality of proportions was performed to test the difference in the likelihood of progression between the groups overall and when stratified by lesson type, which was defined by whether the lesson focused on food preparation. Welch two-sample t tests were performed to test the difference in average link depth and duration of use between groups overall and stratified by lesson type. Logistic regression was conducted to validate the impact of video viewing prior to lesson completion while controlling for lesson type and factors known to be associated with WIC key performance indicators. RESULTS A greater stage of change progression was observed for both food preparation (χ2=12.6, P<.001) and non-food preparation (χ2=62.8, P<.001) lessons among early stage users who had viewed a Health eKitchen video before completing a lesson. Time spent viewing educational learning resource links within the lesson was also significantly longer for both food preparation (t=7.8, P<.001) and non-food preparation (t=2.5, P=.01) lessons. Logistic regression analysis corroborated these results while controlling for known confounding factors. The odds of user progression were nearly three times greater among those who viewed a Health eKitchen video prior to lesson completion (odds ratio=2.61; 95% CI=2.08-3.29). Type of lesson (food vs non-food preparation) was the strongest predictor of progression odds (odds ratio=3.12; 95% CI=2.47-3.95). CONCLUSIONS User access to a Health eKitchen video prior to completion of an online educational session had a significant impact on achieving lesson goals, regardless of the food preparation focus. This observation suggests the potential benefit of providing an application-oriented video at the onset of online nutrition education lessons.

Child malnutrition coexists in households and communities in Bangladesh due to illiteracy, poverty and knowledge which leading to a risk of disease and mortality. This study is a descriptive cross sectional study, which assessed nutritional status and related factors among high school children. In this study only 52.5% of respondents had a healthy weight. While 45% were underweight and 2.5% were overweight. The relationship between nutritional status and some independent variables at 5% level of significance were birth order (P=0.003), snacking habit (P=0.000), taking care of respondents (P=0.007), fathers’ occupation (P=0.019), mothers’ education (P=0.007), earning person of the family (P=0.028) and money for snacking (P=0.020). Based on results, it’s suggested that periodical monitoring and evaluation of nutritional status of the students should focus on underweight students. Supplementary support from school is still needed, to assist daily intake of students still underweight especially. Health and nutrition education should be taught.J. Environ.
