Abstract: To predict demographic, psychosocial, and behavioral
variables specific to each stage by determining the stages of change of dietary
behaviors of adolescents within the framework of TTM and thus to guide for
interventions make adolescents ready for next stage of change.A descriptive, cross-sectional design
was used in the study. The students aged between 10-12 years (n=530) completed a self-report
questionnaire assessing the Transtheoretical Model constructs and selected
indicators. Separate multivariate logistic regression models were created to
determine the readiness of adolescents to make changes in dietary behaviors. Of the adolescences, 89.5% were in the Preparation, Action and
Maintenance stages. In the Contemplation stage, father education and mother
BMI; In Preparation, mother BMI, dietary knowledge and dietary self-efficacy;
In Action, adolescent BMI, dietary knowledge and stress management were able to
predict the later stage of promoting behavior change. In the Maintenance stage
the sex, adolescent BMI, dietary knowledge, dietary behavior, dietary self-efficacy,
stress management and social support were able to predict the maintenance of
promoting health.TTM was
useful to evaluate and predict health behaviors of adolescents. Except for
exercise behavior, all of the determinants predicted the later stage for promoting
behaviors. Female adolescents were
more likely to be ready to make changes.
