Development and preliminary evaluation of the Chinese adult dietary behavior scale
Following standard procedures, this study developed a self-report scale for assessing Chinese adults' dietary behaviors. The CADBS has good reliability and structural validity, making it suitable for epidemiological surveys of dietary behaviors and public health intervention practices. Specifically, it shows that Chinese adults who snack more have stronger food responsiveness and are more likely to be overweight or obese. Conversely, an overweight or obese Chinese adult tends to be restrictive about eating. On the contrary, those with greater healthy dietary awareness are more likely to have a normal weight.
