Description
Yuanyuan Lan and co-authors survey nutrition literacy in school children in Chongqing, China. Knowing food facts early shapes eating habits and long health. Yet data from inland, fast-urbanizing areas of China was scarce. Their online survey reached 1,420 fourth and fifth graders by a staged sampling plan.
The mean literacy score sat near sixty-five of one hundred, which the authors call low. Older age, female sex, minority status, and city living each tied to higher scores. Caregiver schooling also lifted scores in the checks. Keeping meal logs and helping cook meals tied to strong gains. Long meal times tied to lower scores, a result the authors note with care.
