The Relationship of Some Psycho-Social Factors to Food Consumption Behavior of Selected Married Men

In order to increase understanding of the food consumption behavior of married men, data were collected by personal interview from sixty middle- and upper-income males. The typical eating pattern was two to three meals per day plus one to two between-meal snacks. Three meals per week were typically consumed at a commercial eating establishment. Nutrient intakes were estimated using a dietary history method. Mean intakes for males over 50 years of age of protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, and thiamin were all greater than 100 percent RDA as were intakes of all these nutrients except thiamin (89% RDA) for males 23 to 50 years of age. No relationships were found between dietary quality and the food consumption variables of frequency of eating, frequency of snacking, and frequency of eating at a restaurant.
