PurposeThis study aims to compare the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity of different parts (tip, mid and base portion) of lemongrass leaves for application as a natural ingredient in the functional drink.Design/methodology/approachLemongrass leaf powder was prepared from different parts of leaves and evaluated for nutritional composition. Additionally, the extracts of different portions of lemongrass leaves were analyzed for total phenolics, free radical scavenging activities, ferric reducing antioxidant potential (FRAP) and antimicrobial activities for their application in food products.FindingsTip portion of lemongrass leaf anticipated significantly (p < 0.05) higher contents of ash, protein, calcium, potassium and iron i.e. 6.2 mg/100 g, 18 mg/100 g, 340 ppm, 819 ppm and 32 ppm, respectively. Maximum (p < 0.05) phenolics (14.7 mg GAE/100 g), 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydroxyl (86.3%) and FRAP (200 mmol/100 g) were observed in lemongrass leaf tip methanolic extracts. Moreover, lemongrass leaf tip hydro-methanolic extracts portrayed maximum zone of inhibition against E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus i.e. 16.7 and 18.2 mm, respectively.Practical implicationsThis study demonstrated higher antimicrobial and antioxidant activities of the tip of lemongrass leaves as compared with mid and base portions, hence suggesting its role in the improvement of physicochemical, antimicrobial and antioxidant properties of food products. Consequently, the application of lemongrass methanolic extract up to 10% remarkably enhanced the nutritional value and sensorial acceptance of the beverages.Originality/valueThe present research draws evidence from laboratory analysis of fresh lemongrass grown in Pakistan. The findings suggest that lemongrass methanolic extracts could be used as a nutritionally rich source of antioxidant activity in functional drinks.
目的比较香茅叶不同部位(叶尖、叶中、叶底)的抗氧化、抑菌活性,为香茅叶作为天然成分在功能饮料中的应用提供依据。设计/方法学/方法采用香茅叶的不同部位制备香茅叶粉,并对其营养成分进行评价。此外,还对香茅叶不同部位提取物的总酚类物质、自由基清除活性、铁还原抗氧化潜力(FRAP)和抗菌活性进行了分析,为其在食品中的应用奠定基础。结果表明:香茅叶中灰分、蛋白质、钙、钾和铁的含量分别为6.2 mg/100 g、18 mg/100 g、340 ppm、819 ppm和32 ppm,显著高于对照(p < 0.05);香茅叶尖甲醇提取物中酚类物质(14.7 mg GAE/100 g)、2,2-二苯基-1-苦味基-羟基(86.3%)和FRAP (200 mmol/100 g)含量最高(p < 0.05)。此外,柠檬草叶尖水甲醇提取物对大肠杆菌和金黄色葡萄球菌的最大抑制区分别为16.7和18.2 mm。实际意义本研究表明,香茅叶的尖端具有较强的抗菌和抗氧化活性,在改善食品理化、抗菌和抗氧化性能方面具有重要作用。因此,添加10%的柠檬草甲醇提取物显著提高了饮料的营养价值和感官接受度。原创性/价值本研究从巴基斯坦生长的新鲜柠檬草的实验室分析中获得证据。研究结果表明,柠檬草甲醇提取物可以作为功能饮料中抗氧化活性的营养丰富的来源。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to assess the effects of two green leafy vegetables (Gongronema latifolium and Celosia argentea) on the hepatic biomarkers [Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) and Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)], cardiac biomarkers [Creatine Kinase (CK) and Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH)] and histopathology of the heart of high-fat diet-induced hyperlipidemic rats, with the aim of evaluating the vegetables as functional foods.Design/methodology/approachExperimental diets consisted of Control Diet (CD), High-Fat Diet (HFD), High-Fat Diet with Blanched Celosia argentea (HCB), High-Fat Diet with Unblanched Celosia argentea (HCU), High-Fat diet with Blanched Gongronema latifolium (HGB) and High-Fat Diet with Unblanched Gongronema latifolium (HGU). Seventy-five albino male rats (weighing 180–200 g) were used. The animals were divided into 15 groups of five albino rats each. Animals in Groups 1, 2 and 3 were fed with CD, HFD only and HFD with Atorvastin (5 mg/kg b.w), respectively. Animals in Groups 4, 5 and 6 were fed with 5, 10 and 15% HCB, respectively. Animals in Groups 7, 8 and 9 were fed with 5, 10 and 15% HCU, respectively, whereas animals in Groups 10, 11 and 12 were fed with 5, 10 and 15% HGB, respectively, and animals in Groups 13, 14 and 15 were fed with 5, 10 and 15% diet-inclusion of HGU, respectively.FindingsThe incorporation of the vegetal matter into the diet brought about a significant reduction (p = 0.05) in the activities of ALT, AST, CK and LDH when compared with HFD. However, the histological examination showed no pathological lesion, only at 15% inclusion of the vegetables.Originality/valueThe paper established that the incorporation of Celosia argentea and Gongronema latifolium into diet, most especially at 15% inclusion, may serve as functional food in the management of hyperlipidemia and associated complications.
目的研究两种绿叶蔬菜(红叶和银菜)对高脂饮食诱导的高脂血症大鼠肝脏生物标志物[谷丙转氨酶(ALT)和天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)]、心脏生物标志物[肌酸激酶(CK)和乳酸脱氢酶(LDH)]和心脏组织病理学的影响,以评价其作为功能性食品的价值。设计/方法/方法:试验饲粮分为对照饲粮(CD)、高脂肪饲粮(HFD)、高脂肪饲粮加焯过的银根(HCB)、高脂肪饲粮加未焯过的银根(HCU)、高脂肪饲粮加焯过的银根(HGB)和高脂肪饲粮加未焯过的银根(HGU)。选用白化雄性大鼠75只(体重180-200 g)。这些动物被分成15组,每组5只白化老鼠。1组、2组和3组分别饲喂CD、HFD和HFD加阿托瓦斯汀(5 mg/kg b.w)。4、5、6组分别饲喂5%、10%、15%六氯环己烷。第7、8和9组分别饲喂5%、10%和15% HCU,第10、11和12组分别饲喂5%、10%和15% HGB,第13、14和15组分别饲喂5%、10%和15% HGU。结果与HFD相比,添加植物性物质显著降低了ALT、AST、CK和LDH活性(p = 0.05)。然而,组织学检查显示没有病理病变,只有15%的蔬菜包含。原创性/价值:本研究认为,在饮食中添加银芹和扁豆,特别是添加量为15%时,可作为治疗高脂血症及相关并发症的功能性食品。

PurposeIt is argued that COVID-19 patients show various neuropsychiatric symptoms, including fatigue, depression and anxiety. On the other hand, epidemiological and experimental evidence indicated that green tea could potentially have antiviral effects and ameliorate psychiatric disorders. However, there is a lack of clinical evidence. The purpose of this study was to investigate whether drinking green tea can clinically improve psychiatric complications of COVID-19 infection.Design/methodology/approachThis study included 40 patients with laboratory confirmed mild-to-moderate COVID-19 disorder in the current randomized open-label controlled trial. Patients were instructed to include three cups/day of green tea (intervention) or black tea (control) to their usual diet for four weeks immediately after diagnosis of the disease. At the study baseline and after the intervention, the enrolled patients’ fatigue, depression and anxiety were assessed by the Chalder Fatigue Scale, Beck Depression Inventory-Fast Screen and State-Trait Anxiety Inventory questionnaires.FindingsA total of 19 COVID-19 cases in the intervention group (mean age = 52 years) and 14 cases (mean age = 50 years) in the control group completed the study. Analysis of covariance adjusted for baseline levels, and confounders revealed that those who consumed three cups/day of green tea compared to the patients who received black tea experienced significantly lower fatigue, depression and state and trait anxiety levels (adjusted means for fatigue = 12.3 vs 16.2 (P = 0.03), depression = 0.53 vs 1.8 (P = 0.01), 37.4 vs 45.5 (P < 0.01) and 37.9 vs 45.2 (P < 0.01)).Research limitations/implicationsThe open-label design may bias the evaluation of the self-reported status of fatigue, depression or anxiety as the main outcomes assessed. Moreover, as this study did not include patients with severe COVID-19, this might affect the generalizability of the present results. Thus, the recommendation of daily drinking green tea may be limited to the subjects diagnosed with mild-to-moderate type of infection or those with long-term neuropsychiatric complications owing to COVID-19. Besides, considering the ethical issues, this study could not exclude the drug therapy’s confounding effects; thereby, this point should be considered when interpreting the current results. Besides, it is worth noting that Guilan province in the north of Iran is recognized as a tea (and particularly green tea) producing region; thereby, it is an available and relatively inexpensive product. Considering this issue, the recommendation to consume this medicinal plant in adjunct to the routine treatment approach among patients with mild-to-moderate COVID-19 based on its beneficial effects may be widely accepted.Practical implicationsGreen tea consumption could be considered an option to combat COVID-19 associated psychological complications, including fatigue, depression and anxiety among patients suffering from mil
目的新冠肺炎患者表现出各种神经精神症状,包括疲劳、抑郁和焦虑。另一方面,流行病学和实验证据表明,绿茶可能具有抗病毒作用,并改善精神疾病。然而,缺乏临床证据。本研究旨在探讨饮用绿茶是否能在临床上改善新冠肺炎感染的精神并发症。设计/方法/方法本研究在当前的随机开放对照试验中纳入了40名实验室确诊的轻度至中度新冠肺炎疾病患者。患者被要求在诊断出疾病后立即在日常饮食中加入三杯/天的绿茶(干预)或红茶(对照),持续四周。在研究基线和干预后,通过Chalder疲劳量表、Beck抑郁量表快速筛查和状态-特质焦虑量表问卷对入选患者的疲劳、抑郁和焦虑进行评估。结果干预组共有19例新冠肺炎病例(平均年龄=52岁)和对照组共有14例病例(平均岁=50岁)完成了研究。根据基线水平和混杂因素调整的协方差分析显示,与喝红茶的患者相比,每天喝三杯绿茶的患者的疲劳、抑郁、状态和特质焦虑水平显著降低(疲劳的调整平均值=12.3 vs 16.2(P=0.03),抑郁=0.53 vs 1.8(P=0.01),37.4 vs 45.5(P<0.01)和37.9 vs 45.2(P<0.01))。研究局限性/含义开放标签设计可能会使对疲劳、抑郁或焦虑自我报告状态的评估产生偏差,将其作为评估的主要结果。此外,由于这项研究不包括重症新冠肺炎患者,这可能会影响目前结果的可推广性。因此,每日饮用绿茶的建议可能仅限于被诊断为轻度至中度感染的受试者或因新冠肺炎而出现长期神经精神并发症的受试人员。此外,考虑到伦理问题,本研究不能排除药物治疗的混杂效应;因此,在解释当前结果时应考虑这一点。此外,值得注意的是,伊朗北部的吉兰省是公认的茶叶(尤其是绿茶)产区;因此,它是一种可用且相对便宜的产品。考虑到这一问题,基于其有益效果,建议在轻度至中度新冠肺炎患者的常规治疗方法之外食用这种药用植物可能会被广泛接受。实际意义饮用绿茶可被视为对抗新冠肺炎相关心理并发症的一种选择,包括轻度至中度这种病毒感染患者的疲劳、抑郁和焦虑。原创/价值据作者所知,在这项研究中,首次在一项开放对照试验中调查了绿茶与红茶对新冠肺炎相关疲劳、抑郁和焦虑状态的影响。

PurposeSoybean is potentially a rich source of protein and lipids along with isoflavone. However, the use of soybean is limited due to presence of anti-nutritional factors such as trypsin inhibitor, phytic acid, etc. The present study aimed at evaluation of Harit soya seeds of different treatments such as soaking, dehulling, germination, soaking+roasting and roasting in order to enhance its quality.Design/methodology/approachHarit soya seeds were utilized were soaked overnight and subjected for dehulling, germination for 3 days as well as roasting followed by drying to obtain fine powder for quality evaluation.FindingsDehulling and germination produce significant (p < 0.01) increase in protein, crude fiber, total chlorophyll, ascorbic acid, total phenolics, flavonoids and isoflavones while fat was decreased non-significantly. The highest value of 12.4 mg/100g, 5.3 mgGAE/g and 6.6 mg/g for ascorbic acid, total phenolics and isoflavones was found in germinated seeds. Also, the effect of soaking, roasting and their combination lead to significant decrease in the functional properties of the seeds. Anti-nutritional factors were significantly (p < 0.01) reduced in all forms of treated seeds while pepsin and trysin digestibility was enhanced during soaking, dehulling and germination with maximum value of 72.6 and 25.8%, respectively in germinated seeds.Originality/valueImprovement in quality of evergreen variety of soybean using cost effective traditional methods

This paper aims to investigate the vitamin D status and dietary intake in young university students.Design/methodology/approachForty-one healthy students aged 18–29 years from Coventry University UK were recruited during January-February 2019, including white Caucasians (n = 18), African-Caribbeans (n = 14) and Asians (n = 9). Plasma 25(OH)D concentrations were measured and dietary vitamin D intake was determined. Chi-square and simple linear regression were used to analyse the data.FindingsThe plasma 25(OH)D concentrations were (36.0 ± 22.2) nmol/L in all subjects, (46.5 ± 25.3) nmol/L in white Caucasians, (22.6 ± 7.4) nmol/L in African-Caribbeans and (37.4 ± 21.7 nmol/L) in Asians. The majority (85.7%) of African-Caribbeans were vitamin D deficient compared with 22.2% of white Caucasians and 33.3% of Asians (p = 0.001). Overweight/obese subjects showed a significant higher proportion of vitamin D deficiency (65%) than normal weight subjects (28.6%) (p = 0.04). The average dietary vitamin D intake in all subjects was (4.6 ± 3.9) µg/day. Only 12.1% of the subjects met the recommended dietary vitamin D intake of 10 µg/day. Dietary vitamin D intake (p = 0.04) and ethnicity (p = 0.01) were significant predictors of 25(OH)D levels and accounted for 13% and 18.5% of 25(OH)D variance, respectively.Research limitations/implicationsThis small-scale study showed an alarmingly high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among subjects from African-Caribbean origin during wintertime. Education programs and campaigns are urgently needed to fight the vitamin D deficiency in this population.Originality/valueThe targeted population were in a critical period of transition from adolescence toward adulthood involving in changes in behaviours and nutrition.
目的维生素D缺乏症在世界范围内普遍存在。本文旨在调查青年大学生的维生素D状况和膳食摄入情况。设计/方法/方法41名18-29岁的健康学生 2019年1月至2月期间,英国考文垂大学的研究对象包括白人高加索人(n=18)、非洲加勒比人(n=14)和亚洲人(n=9)。测量血浆25(OH)D浓度,并测定饮食中维生素D的摄入量。采用卡方和简单线性回归对数据进行分析。结果血浆25(OH)D浓度为(36.0 ± 22.2)nmol/L,(46.5 ± 25.3)nmol/L,(22.6 ± 7.4)nmol/L ± 21.7 nmol/L)。大多数(85.7%)非洲加勒比人缺乏维生素D,而白人和亚洲人分别为22.2%和33.3%(p=0.001)。超重/肥胖受试者维生素D缺乏的比例(65%)明显高于正常体重受试者(28.6%)(p=0.04)。所有受试者的平均膳食维生素D摄入量为(4.6 ± 3.9)µg/天。只有12.1%的受试者达到了推荐的膳食维生素D摄入量10 µg/天。膳食维生素D摄入量(p=0.04)和种族(p=0.01)是25(OH)D水平的显著预测因素,分别占25(OH)D方差的13%和18.5%。研究局限性/含义这项小规模研究表明,在冬季,来自非洲加勒比地区的受试者中维生素D缺乏的患病率高得惊人。迫切需要教育计划和运动来对抗这一人群中的维生素D缺乏症。原创性/价值目标人群正处于从青春期向成年期过渡的关键时期,涉及行为和营养的变化。

PurposeThe provision of safe food is a topic of increasing relevance worldwide. Several countries, including Azerbaijan, attempted to develop scientific, applied, social and economic solutions to the food supply and nutrition problems. However, Azerbaijan still faces important challenges, particularly providing appropriate, eco-friendly and microbiologically safe supplies and food. These issues occur in international export and import of raw food materials and food, provision of regional and municipal control in food supply and sales and teaching food culture to the public. This viewpoint paper aims to examine the challenges that impede the provision of safe food for Azerbaijan. Such information can facilitate policy implications for governments in developing solutions to the food supply.Design/methodology/approachExtensive literature review is done to base the discussions of this viewpoint paper.FindingsAcademic institutions and departments should take a more centralized and effective effort in scientific research concerning safety, hygiene and culture of nutrition. In conclusion, to ensure proper sustainment, it is necessary to provide strict microbiological, sanitary and hygienic control across the network of production and distribution of food and its import and export within regional and local food source provision systems and mechanisms.Originality/valueTo the authors’ best knowledge, there is no systematic study evaluating the challenges of ecologically and microbiological safety for food in Azerbaijan.
提供安全食品是世界范围内日益相关的一个话题。包括阿塞拜疆在内的几个国家试图为粮食供应和营养问题制定科学、实用、社会和经济解决办法。然而,阿塞拜疆仍然面临重大挑战,特别是提供适当、生态友好和微生物安全的用品和食品。这些问题发生在食品原料和食品的国际进出口,提供区域和城市对食品供应和销售的控制以及向公众传授饮食文化。这篇观点论文旨在研究阻碍为阿塞拜疆提供安全食品的挑战。这类信息有助于政府制定解决粮食供应问题的政策。设计/方法/方法广泛的文献综述是基于这篇观点论文的讨论。研究结果各学术机构和部门应更加集中有效地开展营养安全、卫生、文化等方面的科学研究。总之,为了确保适当的维持,必须在区域和地方粮食来源供应系统和机制内对整个粮食生产和分销网络及其进出口进行严格的微生物、卫生和卫生控制。原创性/价值据作者所知,没有系统的研究评估阿塞拜疆食品生态和微生物安全的挑战。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to assess the protein (biological) quality of pecan and pine nuts supplemented diets in male Wistar albino rats.Design/methodology/approachA randomized and controlled study (45 d) was conducted in male Wistar albino rats (n = 60) comprising six groups, namely, control (Cc), control with 1% cholesterol (CC1), Pecan group (Pe), Pecan group supplemented with 1% cholesterol (Pi1), Pine group supplemented with 1% cholesterol (Pi1). Protein quality of supplemented diet/s was assessed in terms of various biological indices.FindingsPe and Pi groups exhibited normal growth when compared with Cc. Despite showing higher feed and protein intake, Pe and Pi groups exhibited significantly (P = 0.023) lower weight gain than Cc. There was no significant difference between the protein efficiency ratio (3.8 ± 0.2 and 3.7 ± 0.2), apparent protein digestibility (81.5 ± 2.2 and 80.5 ± 2%), true protein digestibility (90.6 ± 1.1 and 88.5 ± 3.5%) and biological value (BV) (75.6 ± 0.9 and 72.6 ± 0.9%) of Pe and Pi groups, respectively. Pe group presented considerably higher net protein utilization (68.5 ± 1.4 vs 64.4 ± 0.8%) and protein retention efficiency (34.8 ± 1.1 vs 31.2 ± 1.3%) than Pi group. Overall, pecan-based diet displayed superior biological quality over pine nut. Antinutrients present in the nuts did not show any major negative effect on the growth, digestibility and bioavailability of the nutrients in rats. BV ranging from 72.6% to 75.6% suggested a satisfactory quality of experimental nut-based diets.Research limitations/implicationsFurther investigation of pecan and pine nuts consumption to examine the potential benefits and associated mechanisms of action is warranted which would aid in a better understanding and to establish nutritional recommendations.Originality/valueOverall, the exploitation of pecan and pine nut flours for the development of value-added food products is favorable from a nutritional point of view.
目的本研究旨在评估添加山核桃和松子的雄性Wistar白化大鼠日粮的蛋白质(生物学)质量。设计/方法/方法在雄性Wistar白化大鼠(n=60)中进行随机对照研究(45d),包括六组,即对照组(Cc)、1%胆固醇对照组(CC1)、果胶组(Pe)、补充1%胆固醇的果胶组(Pi1)和补充1%胆甾醇的松树组(Pi1)。根据各种生物学指标评估补充日粮的蛋白质质量。发现Pe组和Pi组与Cc组相比生长正常。尽管Pe组的饲料和蛋白质摄入量较高,但其增重显著低于Cc组(P=0.023)。蛋白质效率比(3.8 ± 0.2和3.7 ± 0.2),表观蛋白质消化率(81.5 ± 2.2和80.5 ± 2%),真实蛋白质消化率(90.6 ± 1.1和88.5 ± 3.5%)和生物价值(BV)(75.6 ± 0.9和72.6 ± 0.9%)。Pe组表现出相当高的净蛋白质利用率(68.5 ± 1.4对64.4 ± 0.8%)和蛋白质保留率(34.8 ± 1.1对31.2 ± 1.3%)。总的来说,以山核桃为基础的饮食显示出优于松子的生物质量。坚果中存在的抗营养物质对大鼠的生长、消化率和营养物质的生物利用度没有任何重大的负面影响。BV在72.6%至75.6%之间,表明实验性坚果日粮的质量令人满意。研究局限性/含义有必要对山核桃和松子的消费进行进一步调查,以检查潜在的益处和相关的作用机制,这将有助于更好地理解并制定营养建议。创意/价值总体而言,从营养角度来看,利用山核桃和松子粉开发增值食品是有利的。

PurposeThe purpose of this study was to investigate the association of individual and environmental indicators with body mass-index-for-age-z-score (BAZ) of female adolescents living in the North-West of Iran.Design/methodology/approachIn this cross-sectional study, 380 female adolescents aged 16-18 years were selected from two major ethnic groups (Azeri and Kurd) in Urmia city selected by stratified cluster sampling method. In total, 13 high schools (9 public and 4 private) were selected across all municipality zones of Urmia city. BAZ was calculated by Anthro-Plus software. Demographic and socioeconomic information of samples were collected by a questionnaire through interviews. Home environment features (including physical activity facilities, television, computer games and social media use, food consumption habits and family rules) and school environment features (including socioeconomic status [SES], physical activity facilities, food consumption habits) were evaluated by two separate self-constructed questionnaires via an interview with adolescents and schools’ deans, respectively.FindingsAzeri adolescents had parents with higher education and job level and higher SES compared to Kurds (p = 0.000). A higher percent of Azeri adolescents were obese than their Kurd counterparts (p = 0.006). No association was found between individual factors and BAZ in each ethnic group. Considering home environment characteristics, in Kurd adolescents, the maternal occupational level was positively associated with BAZ (p = 0.02). With regard to school environmental features, accessibility of physical activity facilities in school was inversely associated with BAZ only in Kurds (p = 0.005).Originality/valueTo the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to investigate various environmental factors in association with adolescent’s overweight/obesity prevalence in different ethnical groups in northwest Iran.
目的探讨生活在伊朗西北部的女性青少年的个体和环境指标与体重年龄指数z分数(BAZ)的关系。设计/方法/方法在这项横断面研究中,采用分层整群抽样方法从乌尔米娅市的两个主要民族(阿塞拜疆族和库尔德族)中选择了380名16-18岁的女性青少年。总共有13所高中(9所公立和4所私立)在乌尔米娅市的所有自治市区被选中。BAZ由human - plus软件计算。通过访谈,采用问卷调查的方式收集样本的人口学和社会经济信息。家庭环境特征(包括体育活动设施、电视、电脑游戏和社交媒体的使用、食物消费习惯和家庭规则)和学校环境特征(包括社会经济地位、体育活动设施、食物消费习惯)分别通过对青少年和学校院长的访谈,通过两份独立的自建问卷进行评估。与库尔德人相比,阿塞拜疆青少年的父母教育程度和工作水平更高,社会经济地位更高(p = 0.000)。阿塞拜疆青少年肥胖率高于库尔德青少年(p = 0.006)。各民族个体因素与BAZ无相关性。考虑到家庭环境特征,在库尔德族青少年中,母亲职业水平与BAZ呈正相关(p = 0.02)。在学校环境特征方面,只有库尔德人的学校体育活动设施可及性与BAZ呈负相关(p = 0.005)。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一个调查伊朗西北部不同民族青少年超重/肥胖患病率相关的各种环境因素的研究。

PurposeRegular breakfast with a variety of nutrients can lead to improving educational performance, learning ability, reducing behavioral problems in elementary students. This study aims to use the Trans-Theoretical Model (TTM) to assess the mediating effect of self-efficacy in regular breakfast consumption among children of Ardabil elementary schools.Design/methodology/approachThis cross-sectional study was performed between 300 students from elementary schools of different regions of Ardabil city by cluster sampling method. The instrument used in this study was the TTM standard questionnaire. Data was analyzed with Spearman correlation and regression using SPSS v18 software to identify the mediating effects of self-efficacy.FindingsThe mean age (SD) OF children was 11.2 (1.26) and 50% of them were female. Self-efficacy was the strongest predictor in stage promotion (ß = 0.44, P = 0.001), as well as had a mediating effect on the impact of other constructs of the model such as experiential processes (ß = 0.35, P = 0.04) and pros (ß = 0.44, P = 0.03) with stages of change. Pros were a significant predictor of self-efficacy in the first equation (ß = 0.17, P = 0.001) and Pros were a significant predictor of stages of change in the second equation when mediated by self-efficacy (ß = 0.11, P = 0.03). In the third equation, both the mediator, myself-efficacy and the predictor, Pros of breakfast consumption, were significantly associated with stages of change. The mediating effects of self-efficacy on the association between experiential processes and stages of change were also confirmed. The increased standardized beta coefficients of experiential processes between equations 3(ß = 0.35) and 2(ß = 0.29).Originality/valueDue to the importance of eating a healthy breakfast regularly in children, this study aimed to use TTM to assess mediating effects of self-efficacy in regular breakfast consumption in Ardabil elementary students.
目的:有规律的早餐含有多种营养物质,可以提高小学生的教育成绩、学习能力,减少行为问题。本研究旨在使用跨理论模型(TTM)来评估自我效能感在Ardabil小学儿童定期早餐消费中的中介作用。设计/方法/方法这项横断面研究采用整群抽样方法,在Ardabil市不同地区的300名小学学生之间进行。本研究中使用的工具是TTM标准问卷。采用Spearman相关分析和回归分析软件SPSS v18对数据进行分析,以确定自我效能的中介作用。结果儿童的平均年龄(SD)为11.2(1.26),其中50%为女性。自我效能感是阶段提升的最强预测因子(ß=0.44,P=0.001),并且对模型的其他结构的影响具有中介作用,如经验过程(土=0.35,P=0.04)和优点(圾=0.4,P=0.03)。在第一个方程中,Pros是自我效能感的重要预测因子(ß=0.17,P=0.001),在第二个方程中由自我效能感介导时,Pros也是变化阶段的重要预测因素(土=0.11,P=0.03)。在第三个方程式中,介导因子自我效能感和预测因子早餐消费的Pros都与变化阶段显著相关。自我效能感对经验过程和变化阶段之间的联系的中介作用也得到了证实。公式3(ß=0.35)和2(坙=0.29)之间经验过程的标准化贝塔系数增加。独创性/价值由于儿童经常吃健康早餐的重要性,本研究旨在使用TTM来评估自我效能感在Ardabil小学生经常吃早餐中的中介作用。
