“…Ethical concern was considered least important. The order of importance of the FCM was broadly in line with other studies that used the original FCQ (e.g., Reference [45,46]), with the exception that the Nigerian consumer considered the motive Familiar as more important than the European consumer (M = 5.31 versus M = 2.85) [45]. Food consumption practices in Nigeria are found to be influenced by many social-cultural factors, including cultural traditions, food beliefs or religious circumstances [47].…”

“…Next, it is important to realize that the revealed eight-factor structure in this study is not in correspondence with the nine-factor structure presented by Steptoe et al (1995). This result is in line with other studies in LMICs that applied the FCQ [46]. Therefore, a good comparison of the most and least important FCM between countries and over time is not possible as the results of the CFA and EFA differs between the original FCQ and the ones that are conducted in the developing countries.…”

“…This due to the fact that some other studies added extra items or conducted a different statistical test. A review by Cunha et al (2018) showed that several studies have shown the invariance of the FCQ across cultures, while others present the need for adaptations of the FCQ [46]. Also, for Nigeria, the original FCQ might not fit the local context.…”

Drivers of Vegetable Consumption in Urban Nigeria: Food Choice Motives, Knowledge, and Self-Efficacy

et al. 2018

Objective: This study aimed to provide insights into vegetable consumption behavior of urban Nigerian consumers across different Socio-Economic Classes (SEC), their main food choice motives, and the associations of these motives and other drivers with vegetable consumption. Methods: An online survey was conducted in which 1220 women from Lagos (N = 808) and Ibadan (N = 412) metropolis from different SEC participated. Results: On average, respondents reported to consume 2.6 portions of vegetables per day. Most vegetables were bought at open and traditional markets, were bought fresh rather than processed, and were consumed cooked. Respondents from the second richest and upper middle SEC consumed most vegetables () and higher SEC consumed a larger variety of vegetables compared to those from lower classes. Respondents who reported to have a higher knowledge of vegetable consumption, had a higher belief in one’s own ability to prepare vegetables (self-efficacy), and those that valued the food motive Mood and Health more, reported a higher vegetable intake. Conclusions: Vegetable consumption in the studied cities in Nigeria was below recommendations. Increasing knowledge and self-efficacy might be a way to increase consumption, especially in combination with interventions in the food environment and product design focused on the motives Health and Mood, and considering the importance of differences between SEC.

“…In general, people living on the north-east coast of China are relatively prosperous compared to other regions; therefore, this province cannot be considered as representative of China as a whole [25]. Several questionnaires have been developed for evaluating food choice amongst people of different cultures [22]. However, most of these questionnaires aim to study motivational dimensions, such as mood, convenience, price, weight control, food intolerance, and their influence on food preferences.…”

“…Eating behavior, including selection of foods and possible avoidance of certain foods, is far more complex than just chewing behavior and cannot be explained solely by oral physiology as food choices and food consumption are also driven by memory, psychology, and economic factors [21]. Cross-cultural studies also have demonstrated that eating behavior and food selection are related to local and cultural constraints and habits [22]. In spite of these differences and constraints, it is recognized that chewing behavior is associated with dental and prosthodontic status [1,2].…”

Food avoidance is associated with reduced dentitions and edentulousness

Objectives To investigate associations between food avoidance and dental status, age, gender, and socio-economic status (SES). Materials and methods The Chinese sample comprised 1463 dentulous (≥ 1 tooth in each jaw) and 124 edentulous (in one or both jaws) participants aged ≥ 40 yrs. The Vietnamese sample comprised 2820 dentulous and 253 edentulous participants aged ≥ 20 yrs. Food avoidance due to chewing difficulties was scored for regionally common 4 soft and 4 hard foods. Dental status was classified according to the multi-level hierarchical dental functional classification system (HDFC) based on the number and location of teeth and posterior occlusal pairs. Associations were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression analyses. Results For dentulous participants, the chance of avoiding foods was significantly larger with < 10 teeth in each jaw (OR = 2.26 (Chinese sample), respectively 1.74 (Vietnamese sample)), incomplete anterior region (OR = 1.78, respectively 1.84), Bimpairedp remolar region (OR = 2.22, respectively 1.71), or Bimpaired^molar region (OR = 2.46, respectively 1.84). Edentulous participants had twice the chance of avoiding foods (OR = 2.01 respectively 2.20). Avoiding foods was significantly associated with higher age. Participants of low SES (Chinese sample, OR = 1.93) and females (Vietnamese sample, OR = 1.27) had a larger chance of avoiding foods. Conclusions Avoiding foods was significantly associated with reduced dentitions, edentulousness, and higher age; low SES only in the Chinese and being female only in the Vietnamese sample. Clinical relevance Incomplete anterior regions, Bimpaired^premolar or molar regions, and especially edentulousness can be considered significant risk indicators for food avoidance.
