Intention of Older Women to Consume 100% Watermelon Juice for Vascular Health: An Application of Theory of Planned Behavior.

To strengthen randomized controlled trials (RCT) evaluating the efficacy of 100% watermelon juice on vascular function of older women, theory-driven behavioral analysis as well as comparative sensory analysis of the intervention and placebo were conducted. The Theory of Planned Behavior was adopted to assess psychosocial determinants of intention to consume watermelon juice. Sensory attributes were assessed utilizing hedonic scales. Analysis included Structural Equation Modeling with maximum likelihood. The measurement model provided a good fit (x2  = 70.22, df = 38; RMSEA = 0.07, CFI = 0.98; NFI = 0.95). Attitude (γ = 0.36), subjective norm (γ = 0.43), and perceived behavioral control (γ = 0.21,) were significant predictors (p < 0.001) of intention. Participants identified no significant differences in sensorial attributes between beverages, thereby minimizing sensory bias and discrimination. Similar approaches may help other RCT investigating novel foods and bioactive compounds bridge gaps between efficacy and effectiveness.
