A Content Analysis of the Japanese Interpretation of “Eating a Balanced Diet”
Keyword(s):
The purpose of this study was to examine how Japanese workers ( n = 391) think about “eating a balanced diet” daily. Respondents were 263 men and 128 women whose mean age was 43.1 yr. ( SD= 10.9). Content analysis was used to analyze qualitatively responses to a survey. Responses were categorized into Eating a variety of foods, Different types of foods, and Nutritional components. The category, Eating a variety of foods, contained unique behaviors, such as “not continually eating the same foods” rather than eating specific foods or for nutrition. Because interpretations of what “eating a balanced diet” means varied, nutrition professionals should rephrase their advice into language which specifies more clearly practices for daily life.
