Due to development of the “General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire” (GNKQ) a psychometrically valid and reliable instrument (Cronbach's alpha 0.97, test–retest reliability 0.98) nutrition knowledge has been measured in selected populations .

Influence of sociodemographic factors on eating motivations – modelling through artificial neural networks (ANN)

“…Eating is not only determined by physiology, but also by many other factors that interact in a complex way to shape individual eating habits (World Health Organization 2018a). People's food choices are influenced by determinants of varied nature, such as sociodemographic factors, biology, health, emotions, society and culture, convenience, price, ethical concerns, environmental aspects, political contexts, studies or nutrition knowledge, to cite the most relevant (Kullen et al 2016;Cunha et al 2018).
