Attitudes to healthy eating among a representative sampling of Croatian adults : A comparison with Mediterranean countries
The objectives of this study were to examine the understanding of healthy eating, to assess the perceived need to change eating habits, to identify information sources about healthy eating among Croatian adults and to compare it with other Mediterranean countries. The sample included 1, 006 randomly selected Croatian subjects over 15 years of age. The questions were adapted from the Pan-European Survey (19951996). A total of 50% of the participants described healthy eating as ‘ fresh and natural foods’ , more than one-half believed there is no need to change eating habits (53%) and ‘ newspapers/magazines’ (26%) were identified as the most frequently used sources of information about healthy eating. Older males, either unemployed or retired, of lower educational background and monthly incomes, and the overweight and obese were the subgroups of the Croatian population that pose a real challenge to health nutrition promoters. A comparison with Mediterranean countries showed a higher level of similarity in attitudes with Italians.
