“…By applying a best–worst standardized ratio scale, we determined that health benefit is the most important attribute in the organic food buying process. There is a huge debate about the relevance of health as a predictive factor in food consumption in general [ 83 , 84 ], and for organic product intake in particular. De Canio and Martinelli (2009), through a structured questionnaire applied to organic consumers in northern Italy, concluded that it was not possible to find any effect relating to health issues.…”

There is no doubt that the search for organic products is already more than a trend; it is an indisputable reality. More and more people are opting for a healthier lifestyle that starts with food, which has awakened a growing interest in understanding the reasons for these purchases. The motivational attributes of consumers’ decisions regarding the consumption of organic products are the main aim of this study. The survey included 250 respondents that filled a questionnaire by email and by personal interviews. We used a non-probabilistic sampling method, namely convenience sampling and the best–worst scaling method to analyze 10 attributes of organic purchasing decisions. Then, we studied the impact of the classification variables age, gender, academic level, place of residence, children under 18 living at home, and place of purchase of organic products on the attributes. Applying a chi-square test, we only obtained statistically significant differences for children under 18 living at home and the certification warranty (p = 0.011). The results show the dominance of credence attributes and egoistic motivations on organic consumption and may indicate a path towards the standardization of the organic consumer profile. This study emphasized that we may be facing a new organic consumer, for whom health-related factors are not just significant but overwhelming as well.

“…A previous study reported that health, taste, price and time to the grocery store were significant influential factors regarding food choices in older adults 34. Another study indicated that health, mood, sensory appeal, and motives for food choice were associated with personal well-being 35. A systematic review by Cruwys et al documented that food choice behaviors can be affected by many individual, social, and contextual factors 19.…”

“…Regarding socio-economic status, those with a high income rated a meal that was healthy and flavorful to be more important than did those with a lower income 34. Another study reported that price was the most important factor for elderly individuals with regard to choosing their food 35. As such, economic determinants including wages also have an influence on food choices.…”

PurposeThe aim of this study was to investigate occupational stress, frailty, sleep quality, and motives for food choices as key factors affecting the perceived health status among elderly workers.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 175 participants at the Community Senior Club in an urban area. The data was collected from November to December 2018. Pearson’s correlation analyses were performed for perceived health status, occupational stress, sleep quality, and motives for food choices. Multivariate linear regression was adjusted for general characteristics such as age, gender, level of education, living arrangements, and the number of illnesses.ResultsOccupational stress (r=−0.195, p<0.001), frailty (r=−0.468, p<0.001), and sleep quality scores (r=−0.306, p<0.001) showed significant negative correlations with perceived health status. Conversely, 5 motives for food choices (health, weight control, price, sensory appeal, and mood) were positively correlated with perceived health status. Linear regression analysis showed that occupational stress (β=−0.195, p<0.001), frailty (β=−0.420, p<0.001), and motives for food choices based on sensory appeal (β=0.240, p<0.001) were significant influencing factors for perceived health status.ConclusionWe found that occupational stress, frailty, and motives for food choices based on sensory appeal were significant factors for elderly worker health. This suggests that it is important to consider occupational stress, frailty, and motivation for food choices when examining the health of elderly workers. There is a need for more tailored health promotion interventions when considering these factors and the elderly population.

“…At the same time, the literature indicates the growing consumer awareness of food and its impact on well-being and health [1,2,4]. For example, the available research refers to different product categories, such as bread, fruit snacks [107], ready-to-eat cereals, and organic and functional foods [25], as well as food in general [108]. Research focusing on the consumer side addresses issues such as their willingness to eat bread with health benefits [109], the use of nutrition and health information on labels to increase the demand for bakery products [110], and the pleasure of eating and healthy food behaviors [111].…”

This study aimed to analyze the international literature on consumer behavior toward private label (PL) products, guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis) method. We searched for peer-reviewed studies published until January 2021 in the Scopus and Web of Science databases using two main search terms, namely, “consumer behavior” and “private label,” which have several synonymous terms, such as “store brand,” “private brand,” and “own label.” A total of 44 eligible studies were selected for the analysis. We formulated research questions regarding the most studied categories of PL products, the non-health factors determining consumer behavior toward PL products, and the frequency of including health aspects in the choice of PL products. The following were analyzed in the studies included in the systematic literature review (SLR): general data and study design (authorship, year of publication, location, characteristics of the sample, and research category), research specifications (factors/variables, hypotheses, and measured parameters), and general findings (findings and practical recommendations). We found that most of the studies had analyzed dairy products as PL products, and the main non-health selection factors used were lower price and price–quality ratios. Health aspects were considered in only four of the analyzed studies, which focused on the evolution of PL products from low-cost products to sustainable brands with significant added value in terms of quality and health aspects.
