    Area of Science:

    • Food science and nutrition
    • Sociology of food
    • Consumer behavior studies

    Background:

    • Understanding food choices is crucial for public health and nutritional interventions.
    • Socioeconomic factors significantly impact dietary patterns and food accessibility.
    • Limited research exists on the specific social determinants influencing food selection among low-income populations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between food use frequency and social determinants (convenience, price, prestige, availability) among low-income homemakers.
    • To identify specific food items whose usage is significantly correlated with these social factors.
    • To measure the meaning profiles and attitudinal scales associated with food items.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey administered to 112 low-income homemakers.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Data collected on food use frequency, availability, and social determinants for 52 food items.
  • Bivariate analysis used to examine interrelationships between variables.

    • Main Results:

    • Foods possess distinct meaning profiles measurable on attitudinal scales.
    • Significant correlations were observed between food use frequency and convenience, price, prestige, and availability.
    • These correlations were significant for 14 out of the 52 food items studied.

    Conclusions:

    • Social determinants like convenience, price, prestige, and availability play a measurable role in food selection for low-income homemakers.
    • Specific food items are more susceptible to influence from these social factors.
    • Findings can inform targeted interventions to improve dietary choices in vulnerable populations.
