“…Amid the increasing global emphasis on healthier foods, the importance of consumers’ literacy regarding their dietary choices has become even more crucial. Consumer literacy, particularly regarding dietary choices, is not only about imparting knowledge but also about equipping individuals with the ability to make informed choices that suit their needs and situations [ 10 , 11 ]. When consumers are well-informed and literate, they can mitigate the challenges associated with food insecurity.…”

Background The repercussions of food insecurity are widely recognized to negatively impact overall health and are influenced by a complex interplay of physiological, psychological, social, and environmental factors. Methods This study examined the disparities in food consumption and literacy between among food security households and food insecurity households using data from the Korea Rural Economic Institute’s 2022 Consumer Behavior Survey for Food, which involved 3,321 respondents. Results Food security households had a greater understanding of and better attitude toward healthier food choices than food insecurity households. Economic ability was identified as having the most significant association with food purchasing behavior, with food security households spending more on average than food insecurity households. Structural equation modeling demonstrated the association of knowledge and attitude with dietary implementation and underscored the significance of consumer literacy as a factor related to willingness to pay for healthier foods. Conclusions This study underscores the intertwined relationships among financial capacity, knowledge, and health-conscious dietary choices. It also suggests the need for targeted interventions addressing economic and educational gaps to foster healthier food consumption patterns across different socioeconomic contexts.

Tianjin residents attach great importance to vegetable consumption, and the vegetable industry is an important support for promoting the transformation of Tianjin’s modern urban agriculture. In this study, we reviewed the research results of domestic and foreign scholars on the influencing factors of consumption behavior, combined with field surveys, and used economic theory and empirical analysis methods to analyze in depth the influencing factors of Tianjin residents’ consumption behavior of locally-produced vegetables. It was found that factors such as residents’ age, understanding of locally-produced vegetables by indigenous people, local product awareness, freshness and taste of locally-produced vegetables, convenience of purchase, and government media propaganda have a significant impact on residents’ purchase behavior of locallyproduced vegetables. Based on the above research results and the problems found in the survey, corresponding policy suggestions are propose

Background Perceiving oneself as obese has been associated with weight loss attempts. However, such a perception may not sufficiently drive significant weight reduction in many individuals. Hence, relying solely on the traditionally emphasized perceived risk of behavioral changes in obesity is challenging. This study used an extended parallel process model and a risk perception attitude framework to explore the influence of perceived risk and perceived efficacy on individual obesity knowledge and obesity prevention behaviors. Methods Data were obtained from 1,100 Korean adults aged 40–69 years through an online survey conducted in October 2022. Multinomial logistic regression and analysis of variance were employed to assess the relationships among perceived risk, perceived efficacy, obesity knowledge, and obesity prevention behaviors. Results Sex was associated with being underweight, overweight, and obese. Moreover, perceived severity was associated with obesity, whereas perceived susceptibility was associated with overweight and obese. Response efficacy was related to being overweight alone, whereas self-efficacy was associated with being underweight, overweight, and obese. The main effects of sex and perceived risk, and their interaction effect were statistically significant for obesity knowledge. Additionally, the main effects of sex, perceived risk, and perceived efficacy on obesity prevention behaviors were statistically significant. Conclusions The extended parallel process model and risk perception attitude framework proved effective in classifying obesity based on body mass index, obesity knowledge, and obesity prevention behaviors.
