摘要

Schools are a key environment to cope with the curricular state mandate of “Health Promotion” as the overarching pedagogical principle spanning across all compulsory subjects, with teachers and headmasters of secondary schools being potential role models. The present study aimed to assess the health and lifestyle interests and knowledge in secondary school teachers and headmasters comparing omnivorous, vegetarian, and vegan diet types. This study followed a cross-sectional design, including a voluntary online survey with questions on physical activity (PA), sports & exercise, dietary habits, and health. The statistical analysis was performed with ANOVA and Bonferroni adjustments in post-hoc analyses. 1,350 teachers/headmasters (69.7% female; 30.3% male) were enrolled in the study with a mean of 45 ± 11 years of age. Participants were included in the omnivorous (n = 1,249; 92.5%), vegetarian (n = 70; 5.2%), and vegan (n = 31; 2.3%) dietary subgroups. More males followed the omnivorous diet (95.8%; p < 0.01). Participants with vegetarian and vegan diets had greater interests in health and nutrition than omnivores (p < 0.01). Of 1,350 participants inclusive of omnivorous, vegetarian, and vegan dieters, 10% (n = 136) considered meat to be a healthy dietary choice. Those following a vegan diet most often reported a permanent link between PA, sports & exercise and diet as the best for health (n = 25; 81.4%; p < 0.01). From Science 2 School is the first study to examine the interface of health considering PA, sports & exercise with diet type (omnivorous, vegetarian, vegan) in secondary school teachers and headmasters. The present findings show that diet type is related to differences in health and lifestyle interests and knowledge, with particularly remarkable considerations among the vegan subgroup.
