Abstract

Abstract

Objective To investigate the awareness of nutrition labeling and associated factors among primary and middle school students in six provinces of China, to provide a basis for improving the awareness level of nutrition table of primary and middle school students. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted among primary and secondary school students and their parents from 72 schools from six provinces by using the multi-stage stratified sampling strategy during July, 2020 to March 2021. A total of 2 499 parent-child dyads were included in the analysis, demographic characteristics and awareness of nutrition labeling of both parents and students, as well as parents' ability to select healthy pre-packaged foods were collected by questionnaires. Univariate analysis and multivariate Logistic analysis were performed to explore associated factors related to awareness of the nutrition labeling. Results About 78.2%(1 953/2 499) of the students were aware of the nutrition labeling. Junior school students, urban students, students whose parents were older were more likely to be aware of the nutrition labeling [OR=1.54, 1.32, 1.60(parents aged from 41 to 45 years old), 1.45(parents aged above 45 years old), P < 0.05]. Parental awareness of the nutrition labeling showed a positive association with students' awareness (OR=1.28, P < 0.05). Conclusion Nearly 80% of Chinese primary and middle school students in six provinces are aware of nutrition labeling, and the level of parental awareness is closely related to the level of students awareness. Parents play an important role in students' nutrition education.
