Perceived barriers and enablers for consuming a diverse diet in women residing in resource-poor communities in Cape Town, South Africa: a qualitative study

Background: Several studies have shown that South Africans consume a diet low in variety. Objective: To explore the barriers and enablers for consuming a diverse diet in resource-poor communities around Cape Town. Design: A qualitative study design was used. Data were collected from focus-group discussions (FGDs) conducted in Afrikaans, IsiXhosa, and English, using a semi-structured guide. Setting: Twelve community sites in Cape Town, South Africa. Subjects: Study participants were 24 Black and 21 Mixed-ancestry women (n = 45) with a mean age of 49.7 ± 7.8 years. Results: Fourteen FGDs were conducted with an average of three participants per FGD. Six themes were identified from the FGDs, which included nutrition knowledge, perceptions of dietary diversity and its impact on health, individual factors, and social, physical environment, and societal influences on food choices. Perceived barriers to consuming a diverse diet included financial constraints, high food prices, and family taste preferences. Perceived enablers identified were individual taste preferences, access to food stores, community food aid, and food-store specials. Proposed facilitators to achieving a diverse diet included budgeting, income-generation activities, lowering food prices, and increasing community food aid. Conclusions: The findings of this study suggest that financial constraints, high food prices, and social factors limit the ability of women from resource-poor communities to consume a diverse diet and make healthy food choices. Public health interventions aimed at promoting healthier food choices and reducing diet-related diseases should address financial barriers and the cost of food.

Influence of physical activity home environment on fundamental movement skills development in Chinese preschoolers: mediating role of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.

Research on how the physical activity home environment affects fundamental movement skills (FMS) in preschool children in China is limited. However, the role of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) in this relationship is still unclear. This study aims to analyze gender differences in FMS, explore associations between the physical activity home environment, MVPA, and FMS, and investigate MVPA's mediating role in these relationships. We recruited 169 preschool children (95 boys, 74 girls; mean age 4.9 years) from four kindergartens in Hengyang, China. The Family Environment Scale on Motor Development for Preschool Urban Children (FESMPD) assessed physical activity home environment. Objective measurement of MVPA used ActiGraph wGT3-BT accelerometers. The Test of Gross Motor Development-3 (TGMD-3) evaluated FMS. Statistical analyses were conducted using the PROCESS macro in SPSS, with sociodemographic variables as controls. Boys exhibited significantly higher levels of MVPA, parenting style, locomotor skills, and object control skills compared to girls (P < 0.05). MVPA, parenting style, and FMS showed positive correlations (R = 0.355-0.568, P < 0.05). Similarly, MVPA was positively correlated with the physical activity home environment (β = 0.237-0.568, P < 0.05). Parenting style emerged as a significant predictor of children's MVPA levels (β = 0.956, P < 0.001), and MVPA was a predictor of the development ofFMS and its subdomains (β = 0.097-0.207, P < 0.05). Furthermore, MVPA partially mediated the relationship between parenting style and the development of FMS in preschool children. The physical environment was also a significant predictor of children's MVPA (β = 0.637, P < 0.05), and in turn, MVPA predicted the development of FMS and its subdomains (β = 0.188-0.343, P < 0.01). Notably, MVPA fully mediated the relationship between the physical environment and the development of FMS. Overall, this study highlights the important roles of physical activity home environments and individual levels of MVPA in developing FMS in preschool children, noting significant gender differences. Parenting style greatly affects both MVPA and FMS development, while the physical environment fully mediates this relationship. Collaborative efforts among kindergartens, families, and communities are essential to support MVPA and improve FMS development.

Socio-structural determinants of physical activity behavior in children and adolescents: The importance of social support

The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of socio-structural determinants of physical activity (PA) behavior in children and adolescents. We expected that socioeconomic status, social support, and physical environment influence PA directly while socioeconomic status also has an indirect influence via social support and physical environment. Cross-sectional data from the German Motorik-Modul study (MoMo) were used (Wave 2, 2014–2017). The sample consisted of N = 2134 children and adolescents aged 6–17 years. Socioeconomic status, social support, and physical environment were measured by questionnaires. To measure PA, children and adolescents were instructed to wear accelerometers for seven consecutive days. Moderate-to-vigorous activity periods were considered. Path analyses were used to analyze the direct and indirect effects. We calculated two models, one for children (6–10 years) and one for adolescents (11–17 years). Among children (model 1), only social support had a direct effect on PA behavior. In addition, social support influenced the perceived physical environment. Socioeconomic status had an indirect effect on PA via social support. For adolescents (model 2), all assumed relations were significant and in line with the directions expected. Social support had the strongest direct influence on PA behavior. Socioeconomic status had a direct and indirect effect on PA via the physical environment and social support. The study results emphasize the relevance of close, social networks of families and friends as well as social capital, as a source of social support, for PA levels among young age groups.

Influence of residential physical environments on occupant experience: considering the moderating effects of indoor plants and climate zones

PurposeHome is a place/system/product that becomes increasingly occupied with various tasks used to be performed in workplaces. However, the knowledge of the relationship between residential physical environments and occupant experience is limited, especially when considering the effect of indoor plants (IPs) and climate zones. To address the gap, this study conducted a questionnaire survey in three cities across different regions in China.Design/methodology/approachBased on User Experience and Customer Satisfaction Index theory, following the research paradigm, a total of 627 valid samples were collected and analyzed in a stepwise statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, reliability and validity test, correlation test and region comparison, then the model of PROCESS was adopted to examine the hypotheses that are given based on the former studies.FindingsThe results showed that residential physical environments have a significant effect on occupant satisfaction (OS) in all regions, as well as OS on occupant performance. However, regional differences were found that OS is a complete mediator in the Middle region, while a partial mediator in the North and South. A slight moderating effect of IPs was also found in the region of South. Nevertheless, both the number of plants and plant types have a significant moderating effect on the mechanism.Originality/valueBesides combining two theories and confirming the mechanism in the residential physical environment, it is also the first study to consider the moderating effects of IPs and climate zones, providing potential empirical support for not only design and management stages but also facing global challenges of working at home and climate changes.
