Abstract:
Objective To investigate the potential categories of nutrition literacy in young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with overweight or obesity,and analyze the relationship between various latent categories and dietary motivation,so as to provide references for clinical working staff to develop relevant dietary intervention strategies.Methods A convenient sampling method was used to enroll 270 young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with overweight or obesity from the endocrine department of a tertiary general hospital in Zhenjiang City,Jiangsu province,using basic information questionnaire,Nutrition Literacy Measurement Scale for Chinese adults,and the Regulation of Eating Behaviors Scale to collect data,using latent profile analysis to extract nutrition literacy potential categories,with general data and potential categories as independent variables,dietary motivation as the dependent variable for univariate analysis and multiple linear regression analysis.Results A total of 262 young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with overweight or obesity completed the survey,and their nutrition literacy could be divided into 3 potential categories:low nutrition literacy group(16.41％),transformation dilemma group(54.96％),and middle and high nutrition literacy group(28.63％).The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that residency style,potential categories of nutrition literacy and presence of diabetic complications were the influencing factors of dietary motivation in young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with overweight or obesity(P＜0.05).Conclusion There was a group heterogeneity in nutrition literacy in young and middle-aged patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with overweight or obesity.Clinical working staff should provide targeted interventions based on the patient's potential categories of nutrition literacy to stimulate ongoing motivation to maintain a healthy diet.
