“…The results of the SEM analysis confirm the positive relationship between food satisfaction and overall life satisfaction as reported previously in studies examining university students and adolescents (Keller et al, 2016;Schnettler et al, 2013;Vaqué et al, 2012Vaqué et al, , 2015. The SEM results suggest a positive relationship between family satisfaction and overall life satisfaction in students and also confirms the importance of family relationships as a source of life satisfaction in university students and youth (Kwok et al, 2015;Schimmack et al, 2002, Tinajero et al, 2015.…”

“…Similarly, recent studies examining samples of adolescents (Vaqué, González, & Casas, 2012;Vaqué-Crusellas, González, & Casas, 2015;, young people , adults (Keller, Hartman & Siegrist, 2016;Schnettler et al, 2013; and older adults (Grunert, Dean, Raats, Nielsen, & Lumbers, 2007) have suggested that food satisfaction has a direct relationship with overall life satisfaction. Studies have also reported that this relationship is associated with the hedonic pleasure linked to eating tasty foods as well as having healthy eating habits and better health .…”

“…A, Rasmussen, & Montaño, 2011). In addition, in a sample of adolescents from Spain, Vaqué et al (2012) reported that food satisfaction helped motivate adolescents to care for their health. Likewise, it has been reported that those who expressed food as being important to their well-being had higher levels of life and food satisfaction in samples of university students , adolescents and adults .…”

This study assesses the relationship between food satisfaction and family satisfaction and their relationships to university student life satisfaction, while also exploring the moderating role of the place of student residence, student self-health perception and the importance students assign to food in relation to well-being. A survey was applied to a convenience sample of 269 university students. The questionnaire included: the Satisfaction with Life Scale, Satisfaction with Food-related Life, the family subscale of the Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfaction Scale and the first item of the Health-related Quality of Life Index. Having controlled for gender and socioeconomic status, it was found that a student's life satisfaction was significantly related to food satisfaction and, to a lesser extent, family satisfaction. Food satisfaction was positively and significantly related to family satisfaction. A moderating role of student residence was not found. Student health self-perception was found to moderate the relationship between family and life satisfaction, whereas the importance assigned to food in relation to well-being was found to moderate the relationship between food and student life satisfaction. These findings suggest that, in order to increase student life satisfaction, it is important to improve family satisfaction for those students who have a negative health self-perception. Likewise, improving food satisfaction is relevant for those students who gave low importance to food in regard to their well-being.

“…Reviewing the Spanish literature, furthermore, allows us to confirm that most articles are in journals dedicated to health and, particularly, food consumption [27][28][29][30][31]. At the same time, the National Health Survey (by the National Institute for Statistics, INE) [32] does not include variables that allow for a social view of eating habits or complementary information to associate frequency of consumption with well-being.…”

Well-Being and the Lifestyle Habits of the Spanish Population: The Association between Subjective Well-Being and Eating Habits

The so-called Mediterranean diet is not simply a collection of foodstuffs but an expression of the culture of the countries of the south of Europe, declared Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO. Despite the link between food and culture, little has been studied about how diet contributes to the well-being of the population. This article aims to analyze the association between subjective well-being and the eating habits of the Spanish population in order to gain a better understanding of the subjective well-being that food culture produces. For this study, we used a representative sample of the Spanish adult population from a survey by the Sociological Research Center (CIS 2017). Three indicators of subjective well-being were used: perceived health, life satisfaction, and feeling of happiness. The independent variables relating to eating habits considered in the analysis were, among others, how often meat, fish, vegetables, fruit, and sweets were consumed; how the food was prepared; how often meals were eaten out at restaurants or cafés and how often they were eaten with family or friends. Other independent variables related to lifestyle habits were also included in the analysis, in particular, physical exercise and body mass index. We used ordinal logistic regressions and multiple linear regression models. Our findings coincide in large measure with those obtained in earlier studies where perceived health and income play a key role in evaluating subjective well-being. In turn, several variables related to lifestyle habits, such as consuming sweets and fruits, social interaction around meals, exercising, and body mass index, were also associated with subjective well-being.

“…Bottom-up theoretical approaches to life satisfaction imply that life satisfaction depends on the level of satisfaction a person feels in regard to different life domains [ 9 ]. Recent studies based on this approach have established that satisfaction within the food and family domains are positively related to overall life satisfaction in adolescents [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 ]. Whereas satisfaction with food-related life is defined as a person’s overall assessment of their food and eating habits [ 18 ], satisfaction with family life is defined as a conscious cognitive judgment of one’s family life [ 19 ].…”

This study explored the associations between family support and satisfaction with life, food-related life and family life. It also assessed the associations between both parents’ work-life balance and satisfaction with life, food-related life and family life among adolescent children from dual-earner families. Questionnaires were administered to 303 dual-earner families with one child between 10 and 17 years in Temuco, Chile. Adolescents answered the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Satisfaction with Food-related Life scale (SWFoL), Satisfaction with Family Life scale (SWFaL) and the Family subscale of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Both parents answered the Work-life Balance (WLB) scale. Using structural equation modelling and having controlled for adolescents’ gender, age and socioeconomic status, we confirmed that adolescent life satisfaction is associated with satisfaction with family life and food-related life. Food-related life satisfaction and family life satisfaction had complete mediating roles between perceived family support and adolescents’ life satisfaction. Satisfaction with food-related life also had a complete mediating role between both parents’ WLB and adolescents’ life satisfaction. Satisfaction with family life had a complete mediating role between mothers’ WLB and adolescents’ life satisfaction. In addition, mothers’ WLB was positively associated with perceived family support among adolescents. These findings suggest the need to improve family support and work-life balance among mothers in order to enhance adolescents’ satisfaction with different domains of life in dual-earner families.
