“…The observed associations are similar to those found in adult studies (10,38) and among Finnish families (21) . Children with parents who considered 'weight control' important scored highly on the 'dieting' pattern and low on the 'junk/convenient' and 'snacking' patterns, although no significant association was observed between 'weight control' and the 'varied Norwegian' eating pattern.…”

“…This may categorize the prevalence of obesity by using two criteria i.e., central obesity by WC >80 cm or WHR >0.85. Ramachandran et al [36] found the prevalence of obesity (as per International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) definition of obesity) to be 2.7% in Indian adolescent girls belonging to low, middle as well as high-income groups which is low as compared to that found in our study [42]. In current study, relatively higher prevalence of obesity may be due to the reason that half of the study subjects were boarder where access to entertainment activities involving physical exertion is limited.…”

Eating attitudes toward food may have an effect on overall health and contribute to cultural differences in non-communicable diseases. A cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 University girls in Peshawar to investigate eating attitude in relation to nutritional status. Girls were assessed in personal regarding eating attitude, anthropometric, dietary and biochemical indices. Based on Eating Attitude Test (EAT-26) scales, girls with and without eating disorders (anorexic and non-anorexic groups) were identified. In SPSS, An independent t-test and chisquare test were used to evaluate association between anemia and risk factors. Point-biserial and Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient showed positive association of EAT-26 and body image score with Body Mass Index (BMI), Waist Circumference (WC), Waist to Hip Ratio (WHR), Total Body Fat (TBF) and Visceral Body Fat (VBF) while negative correlation with Hemoglobin (Hb) (p<0.01). In the logistic regression analysis, two major dietary patterns, healthy (49%) and (51%) unhealthy were identified. Anorexic girls were 69 (27.6%) and non-anorexic 181 (72.4%). Means weight, BMI, WC, WHR, TBF and VBF of the non-anorexic group were significantly lower than those of anorexic groups (p<0.05). Based on BMI and WC, more anorexic girls were found overweight and obese in comparison to the rest (p<0.05). Risk factors associated with anemia included underweight, poor eating attitude, anxiety/depression and stress; supplements not using and unhealthy dietary pattern. The study concluded that University girls are at higher risk for getting eating disorders which may lead to both acute and chronic health problems.

“…Similarly, during the food decision-making process, the value of health differs between consumers (15) . Health consciousness (29)(30)(31) , health involvement (32,33) , health concern (30,34) and nutrition self-efficacy (31,35,36) have all been shown to affect the purchase of healthy food items and the motives behind individuals' behaviour. There is however limited research to date that explores the influence of health on food choice in a shopping context.…”

Objective: The present study aimed to examine the role of health in consumers' food purchasing decisions through investigating the nature of people's discourse regarding health while conducting their food shopping. Design: The study employed the think-aloud technique as part of an accompanied shop. All mentions of health and terms relating to health were identified from the data set. Inductive thematic analysis was conducted to examine how health was talked about in relation to people's food choice decisions. Setting: Supermarkets in Dublin, Republic of Ireland and Belfast, Northern Ireland. Subjects: Participants (n 50) were aged over 18 years and represented the main household shopper. Results: Responsibility for others and the perceived need to illicit strict control to avoid 'unhealthy' food selections played a dominant role in how health was talked about during the accompanied shop. Consequently healthy shopping was viewed as difficult and effort was required to make the healthy choice, with shoppers relating to product-based inferences to support their decisions. Conclusions: This qualitative exploration has provided evidence of a number of factors influencing the consideration of health during consumers' food shopping. These results highlight opportunities for stakeholders such as public health bodies and the food industry to explore further ways to help enable consumers make healthy food choices.
