“…n 1 : number of studies by educational level; n 2 : number of studies by occupational level. Our findings about a higher consumption of cheese in the higher social class are consistent with previous studies (Popkin et al, 1989;Erkkilä et al, 1999;Borrell et al, 2000). We also observed a positive association between a higher level of education and a greater consumption of milk.…”

“…Many studies have reported social differences in food consumption as well as the quantity and quality of the diet composition (Erkkilä et al, 1999;Fraser et al, 2000;Hupkens et al, 2000). On average, a higher socioeconomic level has been associated with healthier dietary patterns.…”

“…A healthier dietary pattern is believed to include a higher consumption of fruits and vegetables and a lower intake of fat and meat. Thus, people with a higher socioeconomic level tend to show a higher consumption of vegetables, fruits and fiber products and a lower consumption of meat, meat products, and fats than people from a lower socioeconomic level (Erkkilä et al, 1999;Fraser et al, 2000;Irala-Estévez et al, 2000). In fact, there is available evidence supporting the assumption that a lower intake of meat and fat is associated with a higher socioeconomic level in Europe (Johansson et al, 1999;Roos et al, 1999;Groth et al, 2001).…”

Objective: To assess differences in cheese and milk consumption across socioeconomic groups in representative samples from several European countries. Design: A meta-analysis of published and unpublished surveys of food habits performed in nine European countries between 1985 and 1999. Educational and occupational levels were used as indicators of socio-economic status. Results: A higher socioeconomic status was associated with a greater consumption of cheese. The pooled estimate of the difference in cheese consumption between women in the highest vs the lowest educational level was 9.0 g/day (95% CI: 7.1 to 11.0). The parallel observation in men was 6.8 g/day (95% CI: 3.4 to 10.1). Similar results were obtained using occupation as an indicator of socioeconomic status. The pooled estimates of the higher cheese consumption among subjects belonging to the highest (vs the lowest) occupational level were 5.1 g/day (95% CI: 3.7 to 6.5) in women and 4.6 g/day (95% CI: 2.1 to 7.0) in men. No statistically significant associations were found for milk consumption concerning educational or occupational level. Conclusions: Our findings suggest that consumption of cheese is likely to be higher among subjects belonging to higher socioeconomic levels. We did not find enough evidence to support that milk intake is different according to educational or social levels. Sponsorship: FAIR-program of the European Union (project,.

“…Sedentary lifestyle (47,48) , smoking habit (47,48,50) , low educational level and social class (3,42,51,52) and low adherence to the Mediterranean diet are factors that often accompany unhealthy lifestyles. The positive association we detected between physical activity and Mediterranean diet adherence is noteworthy in this context, suggesting that public health or preventive interventions must address diet and physical activity in conjunction.…”

Objective: To analyse the factors associated with the level of adherence to a Mediterranean dietary pattern in healthy Spanish women before pregnancy. Design: A prospective series of 1175 women. An FFQ validated in Spanish populations served to collect dietary data. The Mediterranean Diet Adherence Index was used to assess the level of adherence to a Mediterranean diet pattern. Polytomic regression was performed to identify the associated factors. Setting: Catchment area of Virgen de las Nieves University Hospital, Andalusia, Spain. Subjects: The women were invited to participate in the study at the 20th-22nd gestational week. The selection criteria were: Spanish nationality, 18 years of age or older, singleton pregnancy and absence of health problems that required modifying the diet or physical activity. Results: An inverse relationship was found between women's age and level of adherence to a Mediterranean diet pattern, with a clear dose-response association: a younger age entailed worse adherence (P , 0?001). The habit of smoking and sedentary lifestyle had a positive relationship with low adherence, giving OR 5 5?36 (95 % 1?91, 15?07) for women who smoked .20 cigarettes/d and OR 5 2?07 (95 % CI 1?34, 3?17) for sedentary women. Higher age, higher educational level, and higher social class of the women were associated with a higher level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet (P , 0?001). Conclusions: In our sample population, younger age, lower social class, primary educational level and elements of an unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking and lack of exercise were associated with low adherence to a Mediterranean diet.

“…Plant and animal origin food should be consumed as required by the metabolism for completion of physiological needs (Onurlubaş, 2011). Although, according to most studies on the socio-economically high income group, a healthy diet is considered to be one containing more fruit and vegetable and less fat and meat (Roos et al, 1996;Erkkila et al, 1999;Irala-Estevez et al, 2000;Villegas et al, 2003) 40-50% of the protein need should be of animal origin in a healthy and wellbalanced nutrition. Meat plays significant share among the animal origin protein sources.…”
