Analysis on Eating Out Behaviors of Breakfast and Risk Factors Among Urban Adults
[Objective]To understand eating-out behaviors of breakfast among urban adult residents and its influencing factors.[Method]The data came from the project"Study on the impact of urbanization on food environment and residents'restaurant food consump-tion behavior".In this study,eating out of breakfast was defined as the consumption of catering food at least once during the breakfast period in the past week,and 1 916 urban residents aged 18-65 in different urbanized areas were selected as the research subjects.This study made a descriptive analysis of urban adults'eating out behaviors of breakfast,and used a multivariate logistic regression model to explore the risk factors.[Result]The percentage of urban residents who eat out for breakfast is 62.0%.The residents in the males,younger age group,high level of education and living in the low-level urban areas,smokers,drinkers,and obese people had a high rate of eating out for breakfast,which was 65.2%,70.6%,66.6%,67.5%,68.2%,66.8%,and 67.9%,respectively.There were statistically significant differences in the consumption rate of different food categories of residents who ate out for breakfast among different genders and urbaniza-tion levels(P<0.05).The results of the multivariate logistic regression model showed that high age,non-smoking,and non-alcohol consumption are protective factors for urban residents to eat out for breakfast;high educational level,low urbanization,and overweight are risk factors for urban residents to eat out for breakfast.[Conclusion]Urban residents have a higher rate of eating out for breakfast,which is related to age,education level,urbanization level,smoking,drinking,and BMI,nutrition education should be strengthened to promote balanced and healthy eating out behavior.
