• Description:
  Purpose. ; To examine behavioral and environmental factors that may be related to dietary behaviors among U.S. high school students. ; Design. ; Data were obtained from the 2010 National Youth Physical Activity and Nutrition Study, across-sectional study. ; Setting. ; The study was school-based. ; Subjects. ; Study subjects were a nationally representative sample of students in grades 9 to 12 (n=11,458). ; Measures. ; Variables of interest included meal practices, in-home snack availability, and intakes of healthful foods/beverages (fruits, vegetables, water, and milk) and less healthful foods/beverages (fried potatoes, pizza, and sugar-sweetened beverages). ; Analysis. ; Sex-stratified logistic regression models were used to examine associations of meal practices and snack availability with dietary intake. Odds ratios (ORs) were adjusted for race/ethnicity and grade. ; Results. ; Eating breakfast daily, frequent family dinners, and bringing lunch from home were associated with higher odds of consuming at least three healthful foods or beverages. High fast-food intake was associated with lower odds of healthful dietary intake and higher odds of sugar-sweetened beverage intake (female OR=3.73, male OR=4.60). Students who mostly/always had fruits and vegetables available at home had increased odds of fruits (female OR=3.04, male OR=2.24), vegetables (female OR=2.12, male OR=1.65), water (female OR=1.82, male OR=1.85), and milk intake (female OR=1.45, male OR=1.64). ; Conclusion. ; Encouraging daily breakfast consumption, frequent family dinners, and fruit and vegetable availability at home may lead to higher intakes of healthful foods among high school students.
