The purpose of this study were to investigate the current status of dietary Knowledge, dietary behavior and cardiovascular risk for office workers in Taipei area. The differences in these three variables among participants with different individual background were studied. The correlations among these three variables were also explored. We further calculated predictive power of dietary knowledge and behavior to cardiovascular risk by multiple regression analysis.
The participants were office workers in Taipei area and were recruited by purposive sampling from internet. The questionnaire for this study which included individual background factors, cardiovascular disease prevention dietary knowledge, dietary behavior and cardiovascular risk were used to collect data. Collected data was analyzed by using statistical methods including one-way ANOVA, Scheffe method, Chi-Square test, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple regression analysis With Spss 20.0 software. The following is a list of results of this study.
1.Due to the differences of office workers age, education level, marital Status, average monthly income, there are significant differences in dietary knowledge. 2.There are significant differences in dietary behavior among office worker with different self-rated health Status, self-rated body type, weekly exercise habit. 3.There are significant differences in cardiovascular risk among office workers with different gender, age, education level, self-rated health status, self-rated body type, marital Status, weekly exercise habit. 4.The cardiovascular risk for office workers with high dietary knowledge level is lower than that of office workers with low dietary knowledge level.
The correlations among dietary knowledge, dietary behavior and cardiovascular risk were also determined, and described as following：
1.There is no significant correlation between dietary knowledge and behavior. 2. However, there is a low negative correlation between the dimension of dietary knowledge and cardiovascular risk. There is a low negative correlation between the dimension dietary behavior and cardiovascular risk. Finally, we calculated the predictive power of dietary knowledge and dietary behavior to cardiovascular risk. The results suggesting that dietary knowledge and dietary behavior of office workers have significant predictability for cardiovascular risk.
