"A latent class analysis of food hygiene and handling practices among urban and peri-urban residents in Hyderabad, India"^^ . "In developing countries, food-borne diseases, attributable to lack of, or inappropriate, food hygiene and handling\r\npractices at home, are expected to increase due to a rapid growth in the consumption of fats and animal source\r\nfoods. The context-specific and situational practices corresponding to underlying traits of food hygiene and\r\nhandling practices for home-cooked food were investigated for a set of 662 randomly selected households in\r\nHyderabad, India. Results indicate that about one-third of the households lack access to a refrigerator. Of those\r\nwith a refrigerator, a majority (83%) had the temperature set at medium, with an actual temperature ranging\r\nfrom 8 to 11 ◦C. Results also show that smell, followed by food appearance rather than taste or labelled expiry\r\ndates were used as the main criteria for edibility. Furthermore, six indicators related to handling, storage and\r\ncooking non-vegetarian food and three indicators related to storage of the cooked food were assessed. For\r\nhouseholds with a refrigerator, the latent class analysis identified three exclusive and exhaustive subgroups of\r\nhouseholds representing the heterogeneity of handling and hygiene traits, while two subgroups were identified\r\nfor households not having a refrigerator. Only a small proportion of households (12.6%) with a refrigerator were\r\nprofiled as having adequate and consistent practices. Remaining subgroups revealed substantial within-group\r\nvariations in terms of consistency in certain behaviors. Next, latent class modelling with covariates related to\r\nsocio-demographic, socio-economic, socio-spatial variables and health or dietary outcomes showed that having\r\nhigher than a primary school education, having a high percentage of food expenditure, or non-optimal refrigerator\r\ntemperature were predictive of the latent class with more adequate practices. For households without a\r\nrefrigerator, five covariates related to social class, age, income, and obesity distinguished the latent classes. These\r\nfindings of latent trait-specific behaviors have implications for actions aiming to inform and direct behavioral\r\nchange interventions on food safety practices in the developing countries."^^ .
