Multiple linear regression model on nutritional correlates of perceived stress: two food pattern scores and two healthy eating indices.
| Variable | Perceived Stress | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole Sample | Females | Males | |
| β (95% CI) | β (95% CI) | β (95% CI) | |
| Food intake pattern score | |||
| Sweets, cookies & snacks | −0.02 (−0.07; 0.03) | 0.01 (−0.06; 0.07) | −0.06 (−0.12; 0.01) |
| Fruits, and raw & cooked vegetables | −0.12 (−0.17; −0.07) | −0.06 (−0.13; 0.02) | −0.19 (−0.26;−0.11) |
| Healthy eating | |||
| Subjective importance of healthy eating | −0.30 (−0.41; −0.19) | −0.30 (−0.45; −0.14) | −0.30 (−0.46; −0.14) |
| Objective healthy eating adherence index | −0.02 (−0.11; 0.07) | 0.00 (−0.13; 0.13) | −0.04 (−0.17; 0.08) |
All models adjusted for age, living situation, economic situation, vigorous and moderate physical activity, faculty, and BMI, and the model for the whole sample is additionally adjusted for sex; bolded cells indicate statistical significance (p < 0.05).
