Abstract | Objective: To characterize associations between perceived time constraints for healthy eating and work, school, and family responsibilities among young adults. Design: Cross-sectional survey. Setting: A large, Midwestern metropolitan region. Participants: A diverse sample of community college (n = 598) and public university (n = 603) students. Main Outcome Measures: Time constraints in general, as well as those specific to meal preparation/structure, and perceptions of a healthy life balance. Analysis: Chi-square tests and multivariate logistic regression (alpha = 0.005). Results: Women, 4-year students, and students with lower socioeconomic status perceived more time constraints ("P" less than 0.001-0.002); students with lower socioeconomic status were less likely to have a healthy balance ("P" less than or equal to 0.003). Having a heavy course load and working longer hours were important predictors of time constraints among men ("P" less than 0.001-0.004), whereas living situation and being in a relationship were more important among women ("P" = 0.002-0.003). Conclusions and Implications: Most young adults perceive time constraints on healthy dietary behaviors, yet some young adults appear able to maintain a healthy life balance despite multiple time demands. Interventions focused on improved time management strategies and nutrition-related messaging to achieve healthy diets on a low time budget may be more successful if tailored to the factors that contribute to time constraints separately among men and women.
