“…The observation that predominantly interviewees from both low and high SEP perceived their vegetable intake to be higher than the quantitative intake scores on vegetables is not fully consistent with previous literature. Previous studies suggest that overestimation of own vegetable intake is more present among individuals with lower educational levels (31,32) . Unawareness of dietary recommendations or, if aware, being uninterested in recommendations could explain the overestimation of own intake.…”

Objective: Low dietary guideline adherence is persistent but there is limited understanding of how individuals with varying socioeconomic backgrounds reach a certain dietary intake. We investigated how quantitative and qualitative data on dietary guidelines adherence correspond and complement each other, to what extent determinants of guideline adherence in quantitative data reflect findings on determinants derived from qualitative data, and which of these determinants emerged as interdependent in the qualitative data. Design: This mixed methods study used quantitative questionnaire data (n=1,492) and qualitative data collected via semi-structured telephone interviews (n=24). Quantitative data on determinants and their association with total guideline adherence (scored 0-150) were assessed through linear regression. Directed content analysis was used for qualitative data. Setting: Dutch urban areas. Participants: Adults aged 18-65 years. Results: A range of determinants emerged from both data sources, e.g., higher levels of cognitive restraint (β:5.6, 95%CI: 4.2;7.1), habit strength of vegetables (β:4.0, 95%CI: 3.3;4.7), and cooking skills (β:4.7, 95%CI: 3.5;5.9) were associated with higher adherence. Qualitative data additionally suggested the influence of food prices, strong dietary habits, and the social aspect of eating, and for the determinants cognitive restraint, habit strength related to vegetables, food prices, and home cooking, some variation between interviewees with varying socioeconomic backgrounds emerged in how these determinants affected guideline adherence. Conclusions: This mixed methods exploration provides a richer understanding of why adults with varying socioeconomic backgrounds do or do not adhere to dietary guidelines. Results can guide future interventions promoting healthy diets across populations.

“…Como ressaltado anteriormente, as preferências e importâncias não refletem necessariamente o consumo habitual e energético da população estudada. Carvalho et al 19 observaram que existe uma insuficiente ingestão de frutas e hortaliças e uma percepção equivocada desse consumo em adultos, mas idosos acreditam erroneamente que sua ingestão é inadequada, ou seja, possuem bom consumo mas descrevem o oposto. Além disso, por ser constituída apenas por mulheres, a população estudada segue a tendência observada em um grande estudo de caráter nacional, no qual identificou que mulheres idosas possuem um padrão de alimentação saudável maior em comparação aos homens 8 .…”

Objetivo: Avaliar a associação da percepção das importâncias de grupos alimentares com variáveis socioeconômicas, antropométricas e hipertensão arterial em idosas com síndrome metabólica. Métodos: Estudo transversal analítico com 84 idosas com síndrome metabólica. Foram coletadas variáveis socioeconômicas (estado civil, grau de instrução, renda mensal e composição familiar), variáveis antropométricas (peso, altura e circunferência da cintura) e pressão arterial, além da aplicação de uma escala de importância de grupos alimentares. Análises estatísticas foram realizados com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Não foram encontradas associações com variáveis socioeconômicas, porém verificou-se associação positiva entre leite e pressão arterial; e negativas entre feijão com idade e pressão arterial diastólica, também entre oleaginosas com índice de massa corporal e circunferência da cintura. Conclusão: A percepção de importâncias atribuídas aos grupos alimentares é condizente com alimentação saudável, porém mais apreensivo para os aspectos da síndrome metabólica do que para os socioeconômicos.

“…Moreover, especially women overestimate their children's intake of fruits and vegetables [41], which may have contributed to the observed overestimation of preference. Furthermore, the observed situation may have been associated with so-called pseudo-maintenance (the false belief that the intake is adequate), which for fruit and vegetable consumption was so far indicated as associated with certain socioeconomic factors such as educational background or food and nutrition security [42]. Moreover, it must be emphasized that maternal educational background was indicated in another Polish study as an important determinant of overweight adolescents [43].…”

Mother-Related Determinants of Children At-Home Fruit and Vegetable Dietary Patterns in a Polish National Sample

et al. 2019

Fruit and vegetable intake is indicated among the features of sustainable diets, while children's intake is strongly associated with the intake of their parents, as well as the availability of food products and their accessibility at home. The aim of the study was to analyze the mother-related determinants of children at-home fruit and vegetable dietary patterns in a Polish national sample of children aged 3-10 years. The random quota sampling (with quotas for age, education, and place of residence) was conducted to recruit the national representative sample of Polish mothers of children aged 3-10 years (n = 1200) who were interviewed using a Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) method. They were asked about their children's at-home fruit and vegetable dietary patterns, which were later compared in sub-groups that were stratified for age, educational background, marital status, place of residence, occupational status, and total net income in households. The indicated features, but not marital status, were indicated as determinants of children at-home fruit and vegetable dietary patterns. Children of younger mothers more often than others consumed fruits, whereas those of older mothers consumed vegetables. Children of mothers who had a lower level of education more commonly than others consumed fruits alone as a dish, and they had a higher preference for them, while those of mothers who had a higher level of education had a higher consumption of vegetables than others, although they had a medium preference for them. Children of mothers from villages had a lower consumption of vegetables and fruits than others, although they had a higher preference for fruits. Children of mothers with no professional job had a lower consumption of vegetables than others and more often consumed them processed, although they had a higher preference for fruits and vegetables. Children of mothers with low income had a lower consumption of vegetables than others and more often consumed fruits in a dish with other products, although they had a higher preference for fruits and vegetables. To summarize, an indication of a high preference for fruits and vegetables by mothers is not accompanied by the higher consumption and recommended dietary patterns for fruit and vegetable intake by their children. In particular, the sub-samples of mothers who had a low level of education, were from villages, did not have a professional job, and had low income may either overestimate the fruit and vegetable preference of their children or do not offer them sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables, although they indicate a higher preference. In order to encourage more sustainable diet following, in terms of the fruit and vegetable intake, it is essential to introduce actions toward the properly planned nutritional education for the indicated target groups.
