PurposeBased on the value-attitude-behaviour (VAB) framework, the current research aimed to investigate the influence of organic food consumption, as a type of pro-environmental behaviour (PEB), on consumer subjective wellbeing, by considering (1) attitudes, environmental and health values as antecedents; (2) self-expression process (self-enhancement) and cognitive process (ways of shopping) as two competing mediation routes and (3) locavorism as a moderator.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed model was tested using data from a survey of 576 organic food consumers and the partial least squares (PLS) structural equation modelling.FindingsOur main findings confirmed a positive influence of the antecedents on consumption behaviour and suggested a stronger mediation effect of ways of shopping in the consumption behaviour–wellbeing link, giving support to the cognitive route. In addition, locavorism was a significant moderator for the cognitive route.Practical implicationsPromoting organic food can be based on cognitive persuasion by emphasizing objective benefits, such as nutritional facts, over emotional appeals. Moreover, marketing strategies can also increase organic food consumption by highlighting local sourcing, which resonates with locavore consumers.Originality/valueThrough a moderated-mediation approach, we demonstrate that the cognitive mediation route is contingent on the consumer locavorism, with an attenuation effect suggesting a critical role of locavorism and presenting novel insights for the link between pro-environmental behaviours and consumer subjective wellbeing.

AimsTo identify habitual dietary patterns in maintenance haemodialysis patients and analyse their association with malnutrition.Design and MethodsA multicentre cross‐sectional dietary survey was conducted among 232 maintenance haemodialysis patients from three centres. A 3‐day 24‐h diet recall and demographic, clinical and therapeutic information were collected. Factor analysis was used to identify the major dietary patterns among haemodialysis patients. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the relationship between dietary patterns and malnutrition risk.ResultsThree dietary patterns were identified in this study and differed in age, gender and diabetes. An ‘animal foods and refined grains’ dietary pattern meets guideline requirements. A ‘fresh fruits and nuts’ dietary pattern had insufficient daily energy and protein intake with the lowest carbohydrates, lipids and minerals intake among haemodialysis patients. A ‘dairy products’ dietary pattern characterised by low calorie and moderate protein was found to be associated with malnutrition.ConclusionsHabitual dietary patterns of maintenance haemodialysis patients were associated with personal characteristics, specifically age, gender and diabetes. Patients with habitual ‘dairy products’ dietary patterns may have poor nutritional status.Practical ApplicationsEducating haemodialysis patients about their daily diet pattern, rather than focusing on nutrients, is crucial and will help them to understand it better. Clinical staff can recognise patients at risk of malnutrition by a dietary pattern of lower intake of certain foods. They can recommend a balanced nutritional pattern that increases calories in the total diet and meets protein requirements.
