“…FNLQ-SC comprises four dimensions including: food and nutrition related knowledge; and skills in selecting, preparing food, and healthy eating. The FNLQ-SC demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.698) and an acceptable fit in general (RMSEA = 0.70) (13), which has been revised and used in Turkish school age adolescents (29).…”

BackgroundFruits are essential for health, yet their consumption in children is inadequate, with unclear influencing factors.MethodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among students in grades 3–12 in Beijing, China, from September 2020 to June 2021. Fruit consumption in children was surveyed using a self-administered food frequency questionnaire. Additionally, children’s food and nutrition literacy and family food environments were assessed using the “Food and Nutrition Literacy Questionnaire for Chinese School-age Children” and the “Family Food Environment Questionnaire for Chinese School-age Children,” respectively.ResultsOut of 10,000 participating children, 62.5% consumed fruit daily, with a lower frequency among boys (59.3%) compared to girls (65.8%), and among senior students (48.6%) compared to junior (63.6%) and primary students (71.2%). Fruit consumption was positively associated with other healthy foods (vegetables, whole grains, etc.) and negatively with unhealthy foods (sugared soft drinks). Children with higher food and nutrition literacy consumed fruits daily more frequently (82.4% vs. 59.9%, ORs = 2.438, 95%CI: 2.072–2.868). A significant positive correlation was found between children’s fruit consumption and a healthy family food environment (66.4% vs. 50.2%, OR = 1.507, 95%CI: 1.363–1.667).ConclusionThe results indicate that individual food and nutrition literacy and family food environment are key positive predictors of children’s fruit consumption. Future interventions should focus on educating children and encouraging parents to foster supportive family environments.

Background Nutrition literacy (NL), stemming from health literacy, profoundly influences dietary habits and chronic diseases. Despite their pivotal societal role, scant research exists on NL levels among medical personnel. This study examined NL levels among tertiary hospital medical staff in Bengbu and identified influencing factors. Methods Using cluster sampling, all Bengbu tertiary hospitals were selected, with 4–5 departments randomly chosen. A structured questionnaire assessed demographic characteristics, while the NL short-form scale (NL-SF12) evaluated NL. SPSS 26.0 and AMOS conducted statistical analysis, including confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach’s α for reliability. Chi-square tests and logistic regression analyzed group differences and influencing factors. Results The NL-SF12 demonstrated robust reliability and validity. Of participants, 34.22% were male and 65.78% female; 41.03% were doctors and 42.16% nurses. Overall, 45.68% exhibited high NL. Females showed higher total NL (OR = 1.47, 95% CI: 1.08–1.98), cognition (OR = 1.66, 95% CI: 1.22–2.24), skills (OR = 1.48, 95% CI: 1.09-2.00), and interactive NL (OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.53–3.19) than males. Those with a master’s or higher had higher total NL (OR = 2.20, 95% CI: 1.33–3.65) and cognition (OR = 3.23, 95% CI: 1.94–5.37) than those with an associate degree or less. Pharmacists, inspectors, and technicians had higher total NL (OR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.06–2.26) and functional NL (OR = 1.49, 95% CI: 1.02–2.17). Gender, education level, and career were the influencing factors of nutrition literacy among medical personnel. Conclusions Female medical staff and those with a master’s degree or higher showed higher nutrition literacy (NL), particularly in cognition and skills. Pharmacists, inspectors, and other technicians exhibited higher levels of total NL and functional NL. Gender, education level, and career were identified as significant influencing factors of nutrition literacy among medical personnel. Understanding and considering these factors are crucial for developing targeted strategies to enhance nutrition literacy among healthcare professionals. Future efforts to improve nutrition literacy through training and interventions should be tailored to the characteristics of different groups to effectively enhance the capabilities and proficiency of healthcare professionals in nutrition knowledge and practice.
