Factors Associated with Domains of Food Literacy in Women Living in the United States

Abstract Details

2018, MS, University of Cincinnati, Allied Health Sciences: Nutrition.
Background: Women are acknowledged as main providers of food and nutrition for themselves and their household. Identifying factors associated with domains of food literacy in women leads to a better understanding of the factors that influence women as they navigate the complex food environment. Objective: The purpose of this systematic literature review is to identify factors associated with domains of food literacy in women living in the United States. Methods: A literature search of studies published in PubMed, SCOPUS, and CINAHL between 1980 and 2017 studying a food outcome in women related to planning and managing, selecting, preparing, or eating food was performed. A total of 1856 studies were identified of which 18 were retained and analyzed. Factors associated with food literacy were categorized into four domains: `planning and managing,’ `selecting,’ `preparing,’ and `eating.’ Results: Factors associated with food literacy that were most frequently reported across the domains of food literacy were convenience, food cost, taste, health, and social relationships. Conclusion: Some factors associated with domains of food literacy were associated with multiple domains of food literacy in women and were contextually dependent upon the domain with which they were associated.
