Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the correlation between gastric disharmony and daily eating behaviors in college students, and to provide intervention measures for improving gastric disharmony among college students.Methods:From April 10 to 30, 2021, 3 825 college students from five Chinese medicine colleges and universities in China were selected for this study using the multi-level sampling method. The information regarding college student's general situation, daily eating behavior, and stomach disharmony was collected by questionnaire.Results:A total of 3 700 valid questionnaires were collected, with an effective response rate of 96.73%. The average age was (20.0 ± 3.0) years, and 66.41% of college students included in this study were female. Students with different characteristics had different gastric disharmonies and eating behaviors, and gastric disharmony was correlated with eating behavior. Multivariate analysis results showed that snacking ( OR = 1.11, 95% CI: 1.02-1.21), partial eclipse ( OR = 1.12, 95% CI: 1.00-1.26), picky eaters ( OR = 1.23, 95% CI: 1.08-1.41), and supper ( OR = 1.19, 95% CI: 1.04-1.36) were positively correlated with gastric disharmony. Eating regular meals ( OR = 0.86, 95% CI: 0.79-0.94) and 80% fullness ( OR = 0.89, 95% CI: 0.81-0.98) were negatively correlated with gastric disharmony. Conclusion:Poor eating behaviors may be an important factor leading to gastric disharmony.
