Food Consumption Pattern

The increase in the stress generated psychophysiological disorders promotes a probe into the influence of lifestyle modification factors and food consumption on stress .Hence, the present study aims to study, firstly, the impact of lifestyle modification factors on stress in reference to sex and secondly, the frequency of the consumption of major food groups by individuals experiencing various levels of stress in reference to sex. An exploratory study comprising a sample of 117 individuals (62females and 55 males) of age range 22-55years was conducted in Uttarakhand, India. PSSI was administered for assessing the levels of stress. Questionnaires were developed for identifying lifestyle modification factors and food consumption pattern. Mean scores and percentages were employed to describe the data. t-test and χ² were deployed for the assessment of significant difference. Non vegetarian females, male smokers and alcoholics of both the sexes revealed higher stress than their counterparts. Females consuming junk and market food had lower stress than those females who were not consuming the same. Contrary to the females, males consuming junk and market food had higher stress levels than the males who were not consuming junk and market food. Significant differences were found in the stress levels of males who consumed roots and tubers, milk based products and saturated fats. Further studies with larger sample size are required.Int. J.

Food Consumption Pattern

A study was conducted to determine and evaluate the Iranian food consumption pattern in relation to coronary heart disease and dietetic risk factors. Nationwide data collected in our recent surveys were analysed. The findings reveal plant foods to be the basis of the Iranian diet. Of the total energy intake, 66% and 22% came from carbohydrates and fats respectively. The share of fat from different food groups was:meat and eggs 22%, dairy products 10%, fats and oils 58%. The percentage of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids was 11.3%, 6.8% and 2.1% of the total energy intake respectively. Although the general food pattern of the population falls within the accepted ranges, the trend in the past 30 years reveals a twofold increase in fat intake

ABSTRAK Penelitian ini dilakukan di Kota Mataram periode 2014-2017 dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui dampak konversi lahan terhadap pola produksi rumahtangga petani, untuk mengetahui dampak konversi lahan terhadap pola konsumsi rumahtangga petani dan untuk mengetahui masalah yang dialami petani akibat konversi lahan. Kecamatan Sekarbela dan Kecamatan Sandubaya adalah lokasi penelitian, dengan jumlah petani responden sebanyak 30 orang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa, konversi lahan berdampak menambah ragam kegiatan ekonomi produktif keluarga namun mengakibat-kan penurunan kontribusi pendapatan usahatani Rp 4.427.128/tahun atau menurun 18,51 % dari total pendapatan rumahtangga petani. Konversi lahan juga berdampak terhadap pola konsumsi pangan dan terhadap pola pola konsumsi non pangan keluarga petani.  Masalah yang dihadapi petani setelah konversi lahan adalah harga pangan pokok yang tinggi, nilai tukar petani rendah, serangan hama/penyakit dan kesuburan tanah yang kurang baik. ABSTRACT This research was conducted in Mataram City for the period of 2014-2017 with the aim to know the impact of land conversion on farmer’s household production pattern, to know the impact of land conversion to farmer household consumption pattern and to know problem experienced by farmer due to land conversion. Sekarbela Sub-District and Sandubaya Sub-District are the location of research. Respondents studied were 30 farmers. The result of the research shows that, the impact of land conversion is the addition of various productive economic activities in the farmer's household and decreased contribution of farming income Rp 4,427,128/year or decreased 18,51 % from total household income of farmer.  Impact of land conversion to food consumption pattern that is change of consumption pattern Food and impacts on non-food consumption patterns. Problems experienced by farmers after land conversion are high staple food prices, low farmer exchange rates, poor pest/disease and soil fertility.

Food Consumption Pattern

Food consumption pattern are predictors of health and nutritional status. Bangalore is one of the rapidly urbanizing South Indian megacity with a population of 11 millions. Study highlights gradient changes with reference to food consumption pattern and Body Mass Index (BMI) among households in the rural-urban interface of Bangalore. A total of 300 middle income households were selected by purposive random sampling technique. Standardized schedule was used to collect information on food consumption pattern and BMI using standard protocols. Consumption of energy dense foods was significantly more than adequacy. Average dietary diversity score was less than 50 per cent which is indicative of routinely consumption of only few food groups among households. Fried (51.4%) and Readyto- eat (51.0%) foods consumption was more frequent in rural. Prevalence of overweight (24.5%) and obesity was more in urban (7.1%). Overall, incidences of overweight and obesity were more compared to underweight. This reveals, that there is a need for intervention and promotion of diversified and functional foods to address overweight and obesity, which are the root causes for non-communicable diseases in order to protect health and nutritional status of individuals along rural-urban interface of Bangalore.

Objective: To investigate the impact of the phonetic content of two sentence sets on speech outcomes, specifically the effects of nasal phonemes. Method: Audio-video recordings of a consecutive series of 15 participants (age range 4–22 years), with cleft palate (syndromic or non-syndromic), with and without velopharyngeal dysfunction were taken. Participants repeated Sentence Set 1 (with nasals across sentences) and Sentence Set 2 (without nasals except the three nasal target sentences) during a routine speech recording. Two experienced Specialist Speech and Language Therapists, blinded to the study’s purpose, analyzed participants’ speech using the Cleft Audit Protocol for Speech-Augmented (CAPS-A). On day 1, recordings included Sentence Set 1. On day 2, 23 days later, recordings included Sentence Set 2. Main results: The difference between Sentence Set 1 and Sentence Set 2 ‘total scores’ (sum of scores on all CAPS-A parameters) was significant. The Pearson Product Moment showed high correlation. A Wilcoxon test revealed a significant difference between Sets 1 and 2 on the hypernasality parameter, and this alone accounted for the significant difference in total scores. Conclusion: The inclusion or exclusion of nasal consonants in the sentence set significantly affected perceptual ratings of hypernasality but none of the other CAPS-A parameters, highlighting the need for further investigation into perceptual nasality ratings.

Food Consumption Pattern

The aim of the paper is to identify changes in the food consumption of urban and rural households in Poland when it comes to sustainable consumption as well as evaluate if such changes are becoming more or less sustainable. Sustainable consumption is an element of sustainable development, which responds to the basic needs of people while not jeopardizing the needs of future generations. More sustainable food consumption is perceived to be a reduction of overconsumption, a decrease in the consumption of highly processed food and a shift in diet based less on animals and more on plants. The paper is mainly based on data from the Polish Central Statistical Office concerning meat, fruit and vegetable consumption. Some data about food waste were also used. The research shows that the food consumption pattern in rural households is less sustainable than in urban ones. Households living in rural areas consume more meat and less fruit and vegetables than urban ones. There is some evidence that the food consumption pattern in Poland is shifting towards a less sustainable one.
