Dilemma between health and environmental motives when purchasing animal food products: sociodemographic and nutritional characteristics of consumers

Table 4 Covariance analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis showing the association between dilemma toward choice of meat, fish and dairy products and nutritional intake, adherence to food group guidelines and dietary quality (mPNNS-GS) (N = 22,935, Nutrinet-Santé study, 2013)¹

		Intake (g/day)		Adherence to food group guidelines		Dietary quality (mPNNS-GS)^2,3
		Mean ± SD	P ^4,5	OR (95% CI)	P ^6,7	Mean ± SD	P ^4,8,9
Meat	No dilemma	72.6 ± 51.8	<0.0001	1⁶	0.0002	7.6 ± 1.6	<0.0001
Meat	Dilemma	60.3 ± 46.5	<0.0001	0.83 (0.76–0.92)	0.0002	8.0 ± 1.6	<0.0001
Fish	No dilemma	43.8 ± 45.1	<0.0001	1¹⁰	0.48	7.7 ± 1.6	0.0048
Fish	Dilemma	41.6 ± 42.3	<0.0001	0.97 (0.88–1.07)	0.48	7.8 ± 1.6	0.0048
Dairy products	No dilemma	193.8 ± 150.7	0.045	1¹¹	0.41	7.6 ± 1.6	<0.0001
Dairy products	Dilemma	181.1 ± 144.8	0.045	1.07 (0.91–1.27)	0.41	8.1 ± 1.6	<0.0001

¹All analyses are adjusted for, sex, age, education level, income, smoking status, physical activity, BMI and energy intake
²Analyses are performed on a subsample of individuals (N = 17,685) for whom mPNNS-GS score could be assessed
³mPNNS-GS has a range of 0–13.5 points, with a higher score indicating a better overall diet quality
⁴P values are based on ANCOVA analyses
⁵Explained variance (r²) in the models were 0.073 for meat, 0.033 for fish and 0.024 for dairy products
⁶P values are based on multivariable logistic regression analyses
⁷Explained variance (r²) in the models were 0.010 for meat, 0.055 for fish and 0.027 for dairy products
⁸Since there are no dietary guidelines available for meat, guidelines for meat/fish/eggs are considered in these analyses. Adherence to dietary guidelines for meat/fish/eggs corresponds to an intake of 1–2 servings/day
⁹Explained variance (r²) in the models were 0.14 for meat, 0.13 for fish and 0.13 for dairy products
¹⁰Adherence to dietary guidelines for fish corresponds to an intake of fish ≥2 servings/week
¹¹Adherence to dietary guidelines for dairy products corresponds to an intake between 2.5–3.5 servings/day (individuals <55 years) and between 2.5–4.5 servings/day (individuals ≥55 years)
