dc.description.abstract |
The types and amounts of foods consumed have been shown to influence the
health risks of individuals. Empirical evidence has documented a link
between high dietary fat and low fiber intake and the risks for cardiovascular
disease, some types of cancer, and obesity. Dietary surveys of Americans show
higher fat and lower fiber intake than stipulated in the Dietary Guidelines
for Americans, despite the noted increase in public awareness regarding the
importance of adopting healthy eating habits. The lack of congruence between
the availability of dietary knowledge and behavioral adherence to dietary recommendations
suggests a need to further understand the predictors of dietary
intake. In this study, the authors used the schema model of the self-concept
to explore the role of self-beliefs in predicting dietary intake in communitydwelling,
working-class, middle-aged adults. |
