Abstract

Introduction

Calcium is a vital micronutrient for several physiological processes, yet it remains one of the significant shortfall nutrients among Nigerian adolescents.

Objective

This study was designed to assess the effect of emotion-based nutrition messages on the consumption of calcium-rich foods among early adolescents in Ogbomoso, Nigeria.

Methodology

The quasi-experimental study involved 220 adolescents (experimental: 110 and control: 110) selected using a three-stage sampling procedure. A semi-structured, interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect socio-demographic characteristics, dietary practice, calcium-rich foods consumption pattern, calcium intake, and anthropometric parameters. Second, calcium-rich foods consumption pattern was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire, and intake was evaluated using the multi-pass 24-hour dietary recall to define adequacy at intake level ≥1,300 mg per day. Third, the experimental group had five weeks of nutrition education using emotion-based nutrition messages. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Chi-square test at p < 0.05.

Results

The age of respondents (years) in experimental (12.88±1.41) and control (13.4±1.03) groups was similar. Primary dietary calcium sources were meat, chicken, egg, white beans, cheese, soy milk, oranges, and locust beans at baseline. At post-intervention, intake of other calcium-rich foods such as milk, yogurt, ice cream, okra, sardine, and unripe plantain increased, however, calcium intake remains similar in both control (238.41±92.4 mg; 235.40±92.92 mg) and experimental groups (239.76±51 mg; 241.46±100.89 mg) at baseline and post-intervention, respectively. The overall calcium intake of the adolescents remains below the recommended intake level of 1,300 mg.

Conclusion

Emotion-based nutritional messages did not significantly increase the total calcium intake among early adolescents.

基于情绪的营养信息对尼日利亚Ogbomoso早期青少年富含钙食物消费的影响

钙是几种生理过程中至关重要的微量营养素，但它仍然是尼日利亚青少年中严重缺乏的营养素之一。目的:本研究旨在评估基于情感的营养信息对尼日利亚Ogbomoso早期青少年摄入富含钙食物的影响。方法采用三阶段抽样方法对220名青少年进行准实验研究，其中实验组110人，对照组110人。采用半结构化的访谈问卷收集社会人口特征、饮食习惯、富含钙的食物消费模式、钙摄入量和人体测量参数。其次，使用食物频率问卷评估富含钙的食物消费模式，并使用多通道24小时饮食召回来评估摄入量，以确定摄入量≥1300毫克/天的充足性。第三，实验组接受为期五周的营养教育，使用基于情感的营养信息。数据分析采用描述性统计和卡方检验p <0.05.结果实验组(12.88±1.41)岁与对照组(13.4±1.03)岁相近。在基线时，主要膳食钙来源为肉类、鸡肉、鸡蛋、白豆、奶酪、豆浆、橙子和刺槐豆。干预后，其他富钙食物如牛奶、酸奶、冰淇淋、秋葵、沙丁鱼和未熟大蕉的摄入量增加，但对照组的钙摄入量保持不变(238.41±92.4 mg;235.40±92.92 mg)和实验组(239.76±51 mg;基线和干预后分别为241.46±100.89 mg。青少年的总体钙摄入量仍低于1300毫克的推荐摄入量。结论基于情绪的营养信息并没有显著增加早期青少年的总钙摄入量。
