“…With the rapidly development of social economy and the great changes of residents’ lifestyle, the situation of overweight and obesity in China’s residents is also increasingly serious. 13 Dietary pattern is an important method to evaluate the dietary quality of residents. At present, the assessment of dietary nutrition in China has changed from a single nutrient to a dietary pattern and the assessment of health status and disease risk.…”

Background In recent years, with the rapidly development of economic globalization, residents’ dietary structure has undergone major changes, and diet have emerged as an important environmental factors linked to the increased incidence of obesity. Therefore, evaluating the overall dietary quality and structure of residents, further clarifying the main dietary factors that lead to disease occurrence, is of great practical significance for disease prevention and control. Methods Baseline data from the China Multi-Ethnic Cohort study (CMEC), Han people living in high-altitude and cold regions of Yunnan Province, which was 1518 participants. In this study, the dietary balance index (DBI-16) was used (i) To evaluate the dietary quality of Han nationality residents 30–79 years old in the Yunnan plateau; (ii) To analyze the correlation between the dietary quality and overweight/obesity; (iii) And to provide reference basis of nutritional intervention for local residents and explore the main dietary factors affecting their health status. Results The dietary structure of the Han nationality residents in the cold regions of Yunnan plateau is unreasonable. Firstly, the intake of cereals, fruits, dairy, eggs and fishes is insufficient to varying degrees, while the intake of beans, poultry, and cooking oil is relatively high. Secondly, the dietary patterns of normal groups, the overweight and obese groups obeyed the A, E, H and I dietary patterns, and the serum Leptin and adipocyte fatty acid binding protein (A-FABP) levels of the overweight and obese group were higher than the normal group between the different dietary patterns ( P < 0.05, r > 0). Additionally, excessive dietary intake was positively correlated with a higher serum UCP1 level ( P < 0.05, r > 0). In comparison, insufficient dietary intake was positively correlated with a higher serum A-FABP level ( P < 0.05, r > 0). Conclusion Through the DBI-16, it is found that the dietary structure of the Han nationality residents in the cold regions of Yunnan plateau was in a serious imbalance state, and nutritional guidance and intervention should be further strengthened.

“…We aimed at recruiting 550 participants from each ethnicity. The sample size was determined through rigorous power analysis, and further details on sample size calculation have been described elsewhere (23). After excluding individuals with missing data on socio-demographics data (n = 13), reporting implausible energy intakes (< 800 kcal per day or > 6,000 kcal for men; and < 600 kcal or > 4,000 kcal for women, n = 44), or following prescribed diets (n = 9), a total of 1,033 subjects were included in the final analyses.…”

BackgroundAlthough social capital has been linked to dietary intake particularly in disadvantaged populations, little is known about the mechanisms. This study aimed to investigate whether social support (SS) and nutrition knowledge (NK) mediate the association between social capital and healthy eating habits.MethodsA probability sample of two ethnic minority groups in Yunnan Province, Southwest China were included (n = 1,033, mean age 47.5 ± 14.7 years). Bonding and bridging social capital (BOC and BRC) were assessed with the Personal Social Capital Scale (PSCS-16). Dietary data were evaluated with the Chinese Healthy Eating Index (CHEI), a measure of diet quality which reflects adherence to the Chinese Dietary Guidelines. NK and SS were measured with a validated questionnaire and scale, respectively. Structural Equation Modeling was used to calculate the direct, indirect and total effects of social capital on CHEI scores.ResultsThe mean score of CHEI was 57.4 ± 9.8, which was significantly lower in men and older people. Low adherence to dietary guidelines were to observed in the consumption of dairy, beans, nuts, animal-source food vegetables and fruits. BOC and BRC were positively associated with CHEI score (β = 0.37 and 0.38, all p < 0.05). Social support and nutrition knowledge mediated 45.9 and 39.5% of the total effect of social capital on CHEI score, respectively.ConclusionSocial capital appears to enhance adherence to dietary guidelines by improving nutrition knowledge and social support. Nutrition promotion programs therefore should consider incorporating strategies that foster social capital development, particularly in disadvantaged populations.

“…However, the relationship between social support and diet quality is understudied and remains unclear. Social support may have different effects on dietary behaviors, and the effect of social support on dietary behaviors may differ by gender, age and ethnicity and needs to be examined in speci c contexts (34). In addition, there is limited evidence on the role of social support for women's dietary diversity -Ethiopia's National Nutrition Program recognizes that lack of control over social support networks, in addition to household resources, time and knowledge, constitutes a major barrier to improving poor nutritional outcomes (35).…”

Introduction: Dietary diversity, a predictor of micronutrient adequacy, is low in rural Odisha, India. We conducted formative research to understand determinants of dietary diversity and to inform the design of an agriculture-nutrition intervention in rural Odisha. Methods: We conducted a sequential mixed-method study in June-July 2022. First, an abbreviated 24-hour dietary recall was conducted with 429 respondents from 11 villages to capture food consumption patterns. Then, a barrier analysis was conducted among 41 doers, who consumed ≥5 of 10 food groups, and 40 non-doers, who consumed <5 food groups, to identify enablers and barriers to dietary diversity. Closed-ended responses were analyzed using Fishers exact test. Open-ended responses were analyzed using rapid qualitative methods. Results: Participants in the barrier analysis included men and women from indigenous and non-indigenous groups. Most doers (88%) reported consuming 5 food groups in the past 24 hours. Non-doers reported consuming 2-4 food groups with almost half (47.5%) consuming 3 food groups in the past 24 hours. Accessibility to non-governmental policies, programmes or information channels was the only significant determinant of dietary diversity [p=0.016]. Qualitative results indicated that self-efficacy, access and affordability, perceived consequences of a diverse diet, and dietary practices associated with religious and cultural events influenced dietary diversity. Conclusion: These results indicate that individual, market, socio-cultural, and policy level factors were all determinants of dietary diversity in rural Odisha. Findings will be used to design a homestead food production intervention to target determinants for improved nutrition.
