Dietary health perceptions and sources of nutritional knowledge in an urban food environment: a qualitative study from Indonesia

Abstract: Objective: To investigate dietary health understandings; healthy foods access perceptions; and the main sources of nutritional knowledge of residents in three urban communities of varying socio-economic make-up. Design: An ethnographic approach to primary qualitative data collection, involving frequent visits to study areas over four months and in-depth interviews. Interviews were recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analysed through an iterative approach. Setting: Yogya… Show more

“…Perceived availability of healthy food varied between populations. For example, urban residents in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, reported healthy foods were readily available ( Colozza, 2020 ). Meanwhile, in Myanmar, focus group participants from four study settings expressed that a lack of nutritious food was a barrier to consuming healthier diets ( Downs et al, 2019 ).…”

“…Twenty-five articles looked at the impact of affordability on dietary behaviour and nutrition. Several qualitative articles (n = 5) reported affordability and lack of purchasing power were major barriers to achieving healthy and adequate diets ( Bhanbhro et al, 2020 ; Colozza, 2020 ; Hartini et al, 2005 ; Neo and Brownlee, 2017 ; Sufyan et al, 2019 ). Similarly, quantitative evidence found significant and positive correlations between household income and diet quality ( Chong et al, 2019 ; Karupaiah et al, 2013 ), food security ( Pei et al, 2018 ), and nutrient intakes ( Sang-ngoen et al, 2019 , 2020 ).…”

“…Consistent with studies from other countries in Asia [ 14 , 15 ], the most common understanding of a healthy diet related to the importance of eating a range of foods rather than an appreciation of the value of different types of food or knowledge of recommended amounts. In Indonesia, the government’s 1952 health promotion message about nutrition of ‘healthy four perfect five’ remains frequently used by families to justify the importance of eating a variety of foods [ 16 ]. One concern is whether such general information about a balanced diet is sufficiently granular or practical to help contemporary families make healthy choices in the context of current food availability and the rapidly rising prevalence of overweight and obesity.…”

“…People's perceptions of whether a healthy, satisfying, and safe diet is affordable are not typically captured in economic assessments of affordability, but qualitative evidence shows these perceptions figure into food choices (154,163,324). Evidence from Canada, Australia, and the US to Indonesia, China, and South Africa consistently shows that many low-income consumers do not perceive fruits, vegetables, and other nutrient-dense foods as affordable (154,325,(334)(335)(336)(326)(327)(328)(329)(330)(331)(332)(333). Those who experience food insecurity across settings express prioritising food quantity, often at the expense of diet quality (154,325,337,338).…”
