“…More educated consumers are more likely to use nutritional labels [25]. Likewise, knowledge of nutrition can facilitate the search for nutrition information by increasing its perceived benefits and increasing the effectiveness of its use, thus reducing the cost [26]. It is also essential to take sociodemographic characteristics into account [27][28][29].…”

The aim of this study is to identify consumer groups based on nutrition information-seeking behavior and how it relates to food consumption. Although the Chinese public can now access nutrition information through different channels, research on the segmentation of homogeneous consumer groups seeking nutrition information is lacking. This study closes this research gap and, in doing so, also shows how information seeking is related to dietary behavior. A questionnaire was sent out to a stratified random sample in Beijing, resulting in 448 responses. A cluster analysis using hierarchical methods was conducted, identifying four distinct consumer groups: Multi-Channel (27.43%), Mass Media (20.57%), Moderate (27.88%), and Uninterested (24.12%). The four segments differed significantly concerning food consumption frequencies, food literacy, and sociodemographic characteristics. Consumers who were more involved in nutrition information tended to eat healthier. Our findings indicate that nutrition information is worth promoting, but this kind of intervention is not a cure-all. Targeted interventions should focus on uninterested populations by providing non-informational nudging strategies to promote healthy eating behaviors. This study contributes to the identification of meaningful profiles for targeted interventions, particularly as regards uninterested or unreached consumers.

“…Up to now, the KAP model has been widely applied to health education in the fields of prevention of primary infectious diseases (e.g., schistosomiasis, tuberculosis, malaria, and AIDS) (29-31) and control of chronic diseases (e.g., diabetes and hypertension) (32, 33). However, few studies have explored the relationships among knowledge, attitude, and practice behavior of nutrition labels based on the KAP theory (34)(35)(36). The use of nutrition labeling is a dietary self-management behavior and is closely related to their own nutrition knowledge and health beliefs.…”

ObjectiveUnhealthy foods were a major contributor to the occurrence of chronic non-communicable diseases. The promotion of nutrition labeling in the community can effectively help residents to choose healthy foods, which plays an important role in the prevention of chronic diseases. However, the public awareness of this measure is not clear. Our study used a structural equation model based on the KAP theory to analyze the interaction mechanisms among knowledge, attitude, and practice and aimed to evaluate the relationships among nutrition knowledge, attitude, and practice of residents, which can provide the basis of policy formulation for nutrition education and behavior intervention.MethodsWe carried out a cross-sectional study from May 2022 to July 2022 in the “Community Health Service Center”, and each “Community Service Station” in Yinchuan use a self-designed questionnaire and convenience sampling to evaluate resident nutrition labeling KAP status. This study adopted the structural equation modeling approach to analyze a survey of Chinese individuals through the cognitive processing model, interrelated nutrition knowledge, nutrition label knowledge, attitude, and practice.ResultsAccording to the principle of sample size estimation, a total of 636 individuals were investigated, with the ratio of male to female being 1:1.2. The average score of community residents' nutrition knowledge was 7.48 ± 3.24, and the passing rate was 19.4%. Most residents had a positive attitude toward nutrition labeling, but the awareness rate was only 32.7% and the utilization rate was 38.5%. Univariate analysis showed that women had higher knowledge scores than men (p < 0.05), and young people had higher scores than older adults (p < 0.05), and the difference was significant. Based on the KAP structural equation model (SEM), residents' nutrition knowledge will directly affect their attitude toward nutrition labeling. Attitude played a greater role as an indirect effect between knowledge and behavior, while trust limits residents' practice of nutrition labeling and then affects their practice. It could be explained that nutrition knowledge was the prerequisite for label reading behavior, and attitude was the intermediary effect.ConclusionThe nutrition knowledge and nutrition labeling knowledge of respondents hardly directly support the practice of nutrition labeling, but it can influence the use behavior by forming a positive attitude. The KAP model is suitable for explaining residents' use of nutrition labeling in the region. Future research should focus on better understanding the motivations of residents to use nutrition labeling and the opportunity to use nutrition labeling in real-life shopping settings.

“…Tingkat pengetahuan seseorang berpengaruh terhadap sikap dan perilaku dalam pemilihan makanan sehingga akan berpengaruh pada keadaan gizi. Pengetahuan gizi juga sangat mempengaruhi seseorang dalam memenuhi kebutuhannya (Huang et al, 2021). Kedalaman dan keluasan pengetahuan tentang gizi akan membuat seseorang lebih baik dalam memiliki jenis makanan yang dikonsumsi baik dari segi kualitas dan kuantitas (Janiczak et al, 2022).…”

Status gizi merupakan kondisi tubuh yang dinilai sebagai hasil konsumsi makan. Ketidakseimbangan asupan dan penggunaan zat gizi akan menimbulkan masalah gizi. Status gizi dipengaruhi oleh banyak faktor salah satunya yaitu pengetahuan gizi. Kurangnya pengetahuan gizi dalam kontribusi masalah gizi yang dialami di awali dengan adanya kebiasaan dan pola makan yang salah. Pengetahuan gizi dapat menjadi dasar dalam memilih dan mengatur pola makan. Tujuan penelitian ini yaitu untuk melihat gambaran pengetahuan gizi pada mahasiswa gizi di wilayah Kepulauan Riau. Metode penelitian yang digunakan yaitu observasional dengan desain cross sectional pada bulan October – November 2022. Populasi pada penelitian yaitu mahasiswa program studi gizi di wilayah Kepulauan Riau dengan jumlah sampel penelitian sebanyak 50 sampel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan sebagian besar mahasiswa gizi di Kepulauan Riau memiliki tingkat pengetahuan gizi cukup (42%), kurang (38%), dan baik (20%) sekitar 10 orang. Diharapkan mahasiswa gizi di wilayah Kepulaun Riau dapat meningkatkan pengetahuan terkait gizi dan diimplementasikan ke kehidupan sehari-hari sehingga meningkatkan derajat kesehatan.
