Abstract:
Objective:To investigate average score and correlation of IES-2 and Self rated Health Measurement Scales V 1.0 (SRHMS V 1.0 ) among Chinese college students, so as to provide a scientific reference for health promotion of college students.
Methods:A random cluster sampling method was applied to conduct an online questionnaire survey from July to December 2019 among 542 college students from 8 universities. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the association of intuitive diet level on self reported health status after adjusting for confounding factors.
Results:The average scores of SRHMS V1.0 was (69.84± 10.28 ), and the mean scores of physical self rated health (PSH), mental selfrated health (MSH) and social self rated health (SSH) sub scale were(78.50±10.39)(61.86±14.53)(67.54±14.71), respectively. After adjusting for confounders, the β coefficient of IES-2 and SRHMS V1.0, PSH, MSH and SSH were 6.46, 5.00,10.15 and 3.90 ( P <0.05). Higher level of EPR had positive effects on SRHMS V1.0, PSH and MSH ( β =2.47,2.30,4.71, P <0.05). Higher level of RHSC had positive effects on SRHMS V1.0 , PSH, MSH and SSH( β =2.44, 1.69, 2.71，3.16, P <0.05).Higher level of B-FCC had positive effects on SRHMS V1.0, PSH, MSH and SSH( β =3.71,2.53,4.68，4.17, P <0.05).
Conclusion:The intuitive eating has a positive effect on overall health, especially on mental health. College students should avoid emotional eating, and eat in response to hunger and satiety signals as well as eat healthy food to meet physical needs when facing physical, mental and social problems.
