1 Healthy s and healthy living: An examination of the relationship between attitudes, food choices and lifestyle behaviours in a representative sample of Irish adults Dr. Paul Naughton, Teagasc Dr. Sinéad McCarthy, Teagasc Dr. Mary McCarthy, UCC
2 Overview Dietary guidelines and health Attitude and food choice Methodology Findings Discussion Conclusion and implications
3 Dietary guidelines and health Dietary recommendations and actual consumption do not coincide on a general population level (Irish Universities Nutrition Alliance (IUNA), 2011) On average Irish adults are not meeting the minimum recommendations for time spent at physical activity (IUNA, 2012) Obesity is a global epidemic (WHO, 1998; OECD, 2010) Excess calorie consumption and inactivity are the main causes of obesity (NTFO, 2005; CEC, 2007) Associated with an array of non-communicable diseases including CVD, Hypertension and Type 2 diabetes Since 1990 the prevalence of obesity in year old Irish adults has increased significantly (IUNA, 2011)
4 Attitudes For marketers the study of consumer attitudes is one of the most important means to understanding consumer behaviour Attitudes influence, guide, shape and predict actual behaviour Belief: Cost Belief: Sensory Attitude towards health Health Motivation Actual Behaviour Belief: Health benefits Strongly held attitudes are a good predictor of behaviour
5 Research aim The objective of this study is to examine dietary, lifestyle and activity behaviours across varying levels of attitudes towards eating a healthy diet To understand the importance of healthy s in relation to healthy eating behaviour among Irish adults Any attempt to influence food choice via policy or NPD must be evidence based, targeted and culturally appropriate
6 National Adult Nutrition Survey Food Diary 4 day semi weighed Lifestyle Questionnaire Physical Activity Questionnaire NANS Dataset (n=1500) Anthropometric Data e.g. BMI Biological Samples (Blood & Urine) Food Choice Questionnaire motivations, attitudes & beliefs regarding food All data for each individual linked in a relational database using unique ID codes
7 Food Choice Questionnaire Questions derived from previously validated scales Adapted for an Irish setting & context 83 statements Likert scale, 1 strongly disagree to 7 strongly agree Food Diary Measures the what, when and where 4 days balance of week and weekend days Semi-weighed All information on every food consumed recorded Time, Location, Preparation of meal snack, All constituents in the meal/snack, Recipes
8 Identifying the healthy groups Strongly disagree Disagree Somewhat disagree Neither Somewhat agree Agree Strongly agree Healthy statements Mean (SD) It is important that the food I eat keeps me healthy 6.0 (1.1) It is important that the food I eat is nutritious 6.1 (0.9) It is important that the food I eat contains vitamin and minerals 5.6 (1.3) It is important that the food I eat helps me control my weight 5.2 (1.5) I always follow a healthy and balanced diet 4.4 (1.5) I eat what I like and I do not worry about healthiness of food (R) 5.0 (1.6) The healthiness of food has little impact on my food choices (R) 5.1 (1.5) Composite healthy 5.3 (0.9) α = 0.808

19 Discussion Healthy s are significantly and positively associated with healthy eating behaviour (Roininen and Tuorila, 1999; Roininen et al., 2001; Hearty et al., 2007) Many studies have been limited by the precision of dietary assessment (Hearty et al., 2007) FFQ <100 Items Food Diaries > 3000 items Healthy s are associated with gender (Wardle et al., 2004; NHF, 2005; Hearty et al.,2007) and age (Kearney et al., 1998; Hearty et al., 2007) There was no relationship between healthy s and social class Positive attitudes towards healthy eating are positively associated with time spent at exercise (Hearty et al., 2007; Steptoe et al., 1997)
20 Conclusion and implications Weak healthy Attitude ambivalence: (taste & convenience are equally important food choice considerations) Optimistic bias Target group Emphasise the consequences of unhealthy lifestyle choices NPD must consider these issues Male, younger adults Strong healthy Motivated by health & nutrition Difficulty in meeting guidelines Support through NPD and focus on dietary control Target group Female, older adults
