Abstract Food intake, proportion, and diversity are the major cornerstones of eating behavior. This study examined changes in eating behavior phenotypes using a randomized controlled study (RCT) of digital cognitive behavioral therapy for healthy behavior augmentation (dCBT), with 45 individuals in the dCBT group and 25 individuals in the control group. The dCBT group received a daily intervention for lifestyle modification, while the control group performed self-care for eight weeks. The food intake, proportion, and diversity of both groups were assessed using two different methods: a food diary via a mobile app and buffet test meals consisting of 24 food items classified as healthy or unhealthy. Results revealed that dCBT was successful in promoting healthy eating behaviors that led to physiological and psychological adjustment for the metabolic mechanisms and consequences of healthy eating behavior. Restrained eating behavior at baseline significantly predicted changes in food intake and diversity of healthy diets after the intervention. Lastly, changes in satisfaction with body shape and insulin resistance were significantly correlated with changes in food intake and diversity in healthy diets. These findings suggest that investigating eating behaviors using objective and self-report methods and psychological and physiological indices can facilitate individualized treatment in obesity clinics.

Healthy Eating Behaviors

Unhealthy eating behaviors are one of the major causes of Coronary vascular disease (CVD). The self-management program combined with social support (CIP) was implemented to improve the patients’ self-management ability and maintain their eating behaviors to a healthier standard. The purpose of this study was to compare the scores of self-management and healthy eating behaviors of patients with CVD in the experimental CIP group before and after participation in the CIP. It also compared self-management and healthy eating behavior scores between patients with CVD who entered the CIP with the usual nursing care group. This study was a quasi-experimental approach with 2 groups of pre-and post-tests. The sample size of 50 cases, 25 in each group, was considered for the study. Questionnaires were used to assess the patient’s self-management and healthy eating behavior scores. Descriptive statistics, dependent t-test, and independent t-test were used for the data analysis. The findings revealed that the experimental group showed a significantly (p < 0.05) increased average self-management (46.2 ± 5.6 to 51.1 ± 5.9) and healthy eating behaviors (39.3 ± 5.5 to 48.4 ± 4.0) scores after the program than before. They also had a significantly (p < 0.05) higher self-management and healthy eating behavior scores than the control group (51.1 ± 5.9 vs. 48.9 ± 6.0 and 48.4 ± 4.0 vs. 39.8 ± 7.5, respectively). This program increased the patients’ self-management scores, and consequentially their healthy eating behaviors score also improved.   Keywords: The self-management program, social support, Cardiovascular disease, self-management, healthy eating behaviors

The Impact

Diabetes mellitus sufferers have metabolic issues caused by insulin disorders which indicate hyperglycemia. Behavior related to food and eating, including the amount of calories, dietary choices, setting a meal plan, and control dietary challenges are particularly important for diabetes mellitus sufferers owing to the impact of these measures on the speed with which blood glucose levels increase. With better understanding, diabetic patients can analyze their food intake and adopt appropriate eating behaviors. Self-efficacy can affect the patient’s commitment to their health. Knowledge and self-efficacy support healthy eating behavior patterns. This study aims to identify the relationship between knowledge and self-efficacy with regards to eating behaviors among people living with diabetes mellitus. Bandura’s promotion model was provided as a conceptual framework. A simple random sampling technique was used to recruit 201 participants with diabetes mellitus type 2. Data collection was via a Demographic Questionnaire, an Eating Behavior Questionnaire, a Diabetes Knowledge Questionnaire (DKQ), and a Diabetes Mellitus Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (DMSQ). Data was analysed using univariate and bivariate analysis. The results indicate that participants’ eating behavior, knowledge, and self-efficacy were at a low level. This study also indicated a significant relationship between knowledge (p < 0,000) and self-efficacy (p < 0,00) and eating behaviors. The results provide important information to suggests that community nurses should increase the knowledge about diabetes mellitus management and use self-efficacy to design effective intervention to promote healthy eating behavior to keep blood sugar in control.   Keywords: eating behavior, knowledge, self-efficacy, diabetes mellitus

Background: Lack of physical activity and unhealthy eating behavior are considered to be global issues and lead the risk of non-communicable diseases. The previous studies indicated that mobile applications have the potential for delivering health information to promote health behaviors. Objective: To evaluate the effect of health promotion intervention through smartphone LINE application to increase knowledge, perception, and practice of physical activity and healthy eating behavior among overweight women in urban community. Materials and Methods: A quasi-experimental study was conducted among 100 overweight women with a BMI between 25 and 29.9 kg/m², and aged between 35 and 65 years living in urban community in Bangkok between October 2017 and April 2018. Participants were selected to the intervention group and control group. The intervention program consisted of group education, self-monitoring, individual counseling, and smartphone LINE application group chatting about physical activity and healthy eating behavior. Data were collected at baseline and after the intervention ended at 24 weeks. Chi-square, paired samples t-test, and independent t-test were used to find the effect of the program. Results: At the end of 6-month, the results indicated that the intervention group had significantly increased in mean of knowledge (p<0.001) and perception (p<0.001) of physical activity and healthy eating behavior, food frequency scores (p<0.001), MET-physical activity (p=0.007) and decreased in mean of time spent sitting (p<0.001), body weight (p=0.043), and BMI (p<0.001) when compared to the control group. Conclusion: The use of LINE application was found effective to deliver health information, share and exchange their experienced, motivate, and monitor their physical activity and healthy eating behavior. This app can help the participants to increase the physical activity and healthy eating behavior, and to decrease their sedentary behavior resulting in weight loss. It is useful for healthcare providers to promote the health behaviors. Keywords: Smartphone; LINE application; Physical activity; Healthy eating behavior; Urban community

Abstract Background Diet is central to the management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Depending on the stage of the disease at which the recommended diet is initiated, optimal adherence can reduce HbA1c by about 1 to 2%. However, evidence on eating behavior is generally scarce including in Ethiopia. The present study aimed to assess the eating behavior of adults with T2DM in North Ethiopia. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among 421 adults with T2DM from September to November 2019. Socio-demographic variables were collected using structured questionnaires; an asset-based wealth index was used to determine socioeconomic status. Three dimensions of eating behavior were assessed using Likert-type items: food selection, meal planning and calorie recognition. Raw Likert scores in each dimension were transformed to percent scales to maximum (%SM). Participants’ behavior in each dimension was categorized into healthy and unhealthy taking 66.7% SM score as a cutoff. Overall eating behavior was determined by aggregating ranks scored in the three dimensions. Correlates of overall eating behavior were identified using Chi-square test and multinomial logistic regression with statistical significance set at P-value < 0.05. Result Only 1% of the participants had overall healthy eating behavior. Yet, overall unhealthy eating was apparent in 54.4%. By dimensions, healthy eating behaviors in food selection, meal planning and calorie recognition were seen in 43.5, 7.4 and 2.9% participants, respectively. Factors that were positively associated with having healthy eating behavior in one dimension relative to unhealthy in all were: receiving nutrition education [AOR 1.73; CI 1.09, 2.74], female gender [AOR 1.78; CI 1.03, 3.08] & being in 26–44 age category [AOR 3.7; CI 1.56, 8.85]. But, being in the poor [AOR 0.42; CI 0.16, 1.32] or average [AOR 0.54; CI 0.19, 1.55] socioeconomic strata were negatively associated. However, only receiving nutrition education [AOR 3.65; CI 1.31, 10.18] was significantly associated with having healthy behavior in two eating dimensions over unhealthy in all. Conclusion In North Ethiopia, the overall eating behavior of adults with T2DM is extremely poor. Diverse and integrated approaches including nutrition education during consultation should be implemented to address the gap.

Unambiguously, nowadays healthy eating patterns have attracted the interest of researchers, society and media. Mainly four key widespread messages “eat less fat”, “eat less sugar”, “eat less salt” and “eat more fibre”, are among those widely perceived as healthy eating behavior. All those messages could support a healthy eating lifestyle, and consequently, avoid several chronic diseases and health problems. This research aimed to examine consumers' attitudes towards healthy eating, their difficulty to adopt a permanent healthy eating style and to assess which items consumers find more or less difficult to follow. The Rasch model was applied to assess the obstacles consumers are facing to adopt and follow healthy eating patterns and to relate them with a range of attitudinal and socio-economic factors faced by individuals. Results highlight significant differences among consumers in adopting healthy eating patterns, depending on the level of several key factors (gender, age and education).

According to a recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, overweight and obesity have reached epidemic levels in the United States. Researchers are increasingly engaged in exploring eating behavior with the goals of trying to understand what elements of eating behavior might lead to overweight and obesity and applying knowledge from these studies to encourage people to engage in healthy eating behaviors. The purpose of the current study was to determine the utility of a new laboratory eating paradigm that attempts to create a natural social eating environment while maintaining the control possible within a university laboratory. Known effects of gender on eating behavior (e.g. consumption rates and bite size), positive subjective ratings of the food item used, and subjective ratings of perceived eating behavior were replicated to show the utility of the paradigm.
