ABSTRACT
Objective:
To identify the dietary patterns among preschoolers in Ma'anshan, and to investigate its association with the education levels of the parents.Methods:
A total of 16 439 children aged 3-6 were recruited from 91 kindergartens in Ma'anshan city to participate in the study. Food frequency and socio-demographic information were collected through questionnaire survey. Dietary data was collected using a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ), and principal-components analysis was used to derive the dietary patterns. Ordinal multinomial logistic regression was employed to explore the association between the education level of parents and the dietary patterns.Results:
Five dietary patterns- "processed" , "beverage" , "snack" , "protein" and "vegetarian" were identified. Data showed that the total variance was 48.02% and the cumulative proportion of processed reached 24.78%. Low educational level of the father was positively associated with both "beverage" (OR=1.36, 95%CI 1.15-1.63) and "snack" dietary pattern (OR=1.21, 95%CI 1.01-1.43). Low educational level of mother was positively associated with the "processed" (OR=1.31, 95%CI 1.09-1.57) and "beverage" dietary pattern (OR=1.48, 95%CI 1.23-1.77), and showed a negative correlation with "protein" (OR=0.62, 95%CI 0.52-0.74) and "vegetarian" dietary pattern (OR=0.72, 95%CI 0.60-0.86).Conclusion:
