RODRIGUEZ-GARCIA, Pedro Luis et al. Assessment of the eating habit in the health-related lifestyle among Spanish adults from 22 to 72 years of age. Nutr. Hosp. [online]. 2024, vol.41, n.1, pp.152-162.  Epub 07-Mar-2024. ISSN 1699-5198.  https://dx.doi.org/10.20960/nh.04267.

Introduction:

eating habits are one of the main predictors of health within a person lifestyle. The assessment of these habits will be essential to confirm health-related habits and orientate behaviors of risk for health.

Objectives:

to assess the eating habits within the health-related lifestyle among Spanish adults from 22 to 72 years of age.

Methods:

the Health-Related Lifestyle Assessment Scale (E-VEVSA) was applied to a sample of 788 subjects between the ages of 22 and 72. This scale is made up of 52 items and structured in seven dimensions, among which the healthy eating habit was evaluated, which explained a variance of 8.67 % of the total scale (66.87 %) and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.794 for a total alpha of 0.894.

Results:

sixteen percent of the adults surveyed have healthy eating habits, 68.3 % tend towards health and 15.7 % are unhealthy. Pearson’s χ2 tests show a positive and significant association of women with healthy eating habits and a significant improvement with age. The inferential data (Student’s t-tests and one-factor ANOVA) confirm these differences according to gender and age.

Conclusions:

it is necessary to promote preventive programs to improve eating habits in the adult population, especially in the 15.7 % that have an unhealthy level of nutrition in their lifestyle.
