TI  - The association between nutrition knowledge and adherence to a Mediterranean 
      dietary pattern in Iranian female adolescents.

AB  - BACKGROUND: Adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern (MDP) has been reported 
      to decrease chronic diseases. OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to 
      determine the association between nutrition knowledge (NK) and adherence to MDP 
      in Iranian female adolescents. SUBJECTS: This cross-sectional study was conducted 
      on 297 female adolescents aged 15-18 years. METHODS: The participants were 
      interviewed using a valid and structured questionnaire to collect information on 
      socio-demographic, lifestyle and anthropometric variables. Dietary intakes were 
      assessed using a validated 168-item Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). Adherence 
      to MDP was measured by the Mediterranean-Style Dietary Pattern Score (MSDPS). 
      Each participant's NK was determined using a 20-item NK questionnaire. RESULTS: 
      The mean +/- standard deviation (SD) age and body mass index (BMI) of participants 
      were 16.1 +/- 0.9 years and 22.3 +/- 4.6 kg/m(2), respectively. The median 
      [interquartile range (IQR)] of the NK score and the MSDPS were 80.0 (68.0-87.0) 
      and 15.2 (11.9-19.5), respectively. The odds ratio (OR) of higher adherence to 
      MDP in the highest tertile of the NK score was 2.19 [95% confidence interval 
      (CI): 1.22-3.95; p for trend = 0.009], compared to the lowest tertile after 
      adjusting for age and energy intake. In a multivariable-adjusted model, after 
      further adjustment for BMI, mother's/father's education level, mother's/father's 
      employment status, parent's marital status and physical activity, the subjects in 
      the highest tertile of the NK score had higher adherence to MDP compared with 
      those in the lowest tertile (OR = 2.05; 95% CI, 1.09-3.83; p for trend = 0.013). 
      CONCLUSION: Our findings support the hypothesis that a higher NK score is 
      significantly associated with a higher MDP adherence score in Iranian female 
      adolescents.
