Understanding Graduate Students’ Perspectives on Food Apps to Inform User-Centered Design: Explanatory Sequential Mixed Methods Survey Study Background: Mobile food apps have the potential to promote healthier eating behaviors and more sustainable food practices. Graduate students often struggle to maintain healthy dietary habits due to lifestyle transitions, academic stress, limited time, and constrained budgets, which can lead to poor meal planning, irregular eating patterns, and increased food waste. Objective: This study aimed to examine graduate students’ dietary behaviors, food waste practices, and preferences for mobile food app features, with the intention of informing the design of user-centered tools that promote healthy eating and reduce food waste. Methods: This study used an explanatory sequential mixed methods design. In the first phase, 63 graduate students at the University of South Carolina completed an online survey between November and December 2024, which captured demographics, cooking habits, dietary preferences, food waste behaviors, and online recipe search behaviors. Findings from the survey shaped the design of interview questions, allowing qualitative inquiry to explain and expand upon the quantitative patterns. Ten purposively selected participants completed semistructured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively and using the chi-square test with R software (version 4.3.1), while qualitative data were transcribed and thematically analyzed. Results: Survey findings revealed that 54% (34/63) of the participants ate out daily or almost daily; 25.3% (16/63) consumed fast, frozen, or canned food at least 3 to 5 times per week; and only 19% (12/63) cooked daily. Most participants consumed only 1 serving of vegetables (43/63, 68.2%) and fruits (33/63, 52.4%) daily. Nearly 70% (44/63) reported food waste, primarily from leftovers and unused ingredients. A significant association was found between shopping list use and reduced food waste (²=9.66, =.008; Cramér V=0.39). The interviews contextualized these patterns: the students described time constraints, limited cooking skills, and overbuying as key barriers to healthy eating and waste reduction, while recommending app features such as nutrition tracking, batch meal planning, personalized dietary filters, ingredient-based recipe generators, and grocery list tools with reminders. Participants also emphasized the importance of simple design, multimodal content, and accurate cooking time estimates. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that integrating quantitative and qualitative insights through the capability, opportunity, motivation-behavior (COM-B) framework provides a nuanced understanding of graduate students’ dietary practices, food waste behaviors, and app feature preferences. The findings highlight the need for mobile food apps that are not only evidence based but also user centered, offering simple, time-efficient, and customizable tools that simultaneously address capability deficits, opportunity barriers, and motivation maintenance. Such apps have the potential to address barriers unique to graduate students, such as limited time, minimal cooking skills, and organizational challenges, while supporting healthier eating and reducing food waste.

Associations Between Dietary Habits and Accelerated Aging and the Establishment of an Accelerated Aging Interpretable Risk Prediction Model via Shapley Additive Explanations: Cross-Sectional Study From Two Representative Populations Background: Research has revealed potential links between specific dietary habits and accelerated aging. However, most studies focus only on singular diets or lack ethnic diversity. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the associations between 5 dietary indices and the risk of accelerated aging and develop an interpretable machine learning (ML) model for accelerated aging prediction. Methods: We explored associations between dietary indices and the risk of accelerated aging using data from the US National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) and the UK Biobank. A weighted linear regression analysis was used to determine whether accelerated aging was linked to dietary habits, and the covariates were gradually adjusted to ensure that the association was stable. Nonlinear correlations were explored using restricted cubic spline curves. In addition, multiple ML algorithms were used to build predictive models of accelerated aging risk. Results: Except for the Dietary Inflammation Index (β=0.35, 95% CI 0.23-0.74), the other 4 dietary indices (Alternative Healthy Eating Index, Alternative Mediterranean Diet, Healthy Eating Index-2020, and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) were negatively associated with the risk of accelerated aging in NHANES participants. Similar results were observed in UK Biobank participants. Nine ML algorithms were used to develop risk prediction models, among which the gradient boosting decision tree model showed the best overall performance. A web-based prediction platform was developed and made publicly available. Conclusions: Significant associations between accelerated aging and dietary indices were observed. High compliance with the Dietary Inflammation Index had a promoting effect on accelerated aging, while high compliance with the Alternative Healthy Eating Index, Alternative Mediterranean Diet, Healthy Eating Index-2020, and Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension showed varying degrees of protection against accelerated aging.
