“…Considering the youngest subjects, the role of the expert in imparting adequate knowledge and practices is taken over by parents. The role of parents can be considered as an antecedent of NL [28,43,48], and the results obtained by Gibbs et al [43] indicated a significant positive relationship between parents' level of NL and children's diet quality.…”

Existing definitions of food literacy (FL) and nutrition literacy (NL) in particular refer to individual knowledge, motivation, competences, and awareness, which determine the relationship between individuals and food, the food system, and nutrition information. Several authors proposed specific conceptualization of the terms. Nevertheless, the description of analogies and differences between FL and NL is still lacking, as is an integrated framework which highlights the meaning of the concepts. This work aims to describe and discuss evidence provided by the literature in order to develop and propose a comprehensive conceptualization of FL and NL to the scientific community. We systematically reviewed six databases, considering the search terms of FL and NL. We collected the antecedents, components, and consequences of both FL and NL. We underlined and traced similarities of the concepts as well as prerogative features through the content analysis of definitions. We obtained 14 definitions of NL and 12 definitions of FL; 42 papers presented antecedents and 53 papers contained consequences. We observed that NL could be considered a specific form of FL. In addition, we noted that the consequences of NL are included in the subset of the consequences of FL and the conceptual limits of FL correspond to the outcome of healthful diet. We conclude that FL and NL build a multifaceted concept which implies both individual and public perspectives. We propose a conceptualization which could be useful to develop an executive framework aimed at providing healthy eating for the population.

“…But it is noteworthy that behind the dietary behavior and intake, the individual knowledge, skills and behaviors required to plan, manage, select, prepare and eat foods, which is de ned as FNL, may play an important role [1; 27]. A cross-sectional study of 101 parent-child dyads showed that for every 1% increase in Nutrition Literacy Assessment Instrument for Parents (NLit-P), there was a 0.51 increase in child diet quality (Healthy Eating Index) [11].Till now few studies focused on the effect of FFE on . Our results furtherly showed the children with higher level of caregiver's FNL were less likely to be overweight or obesity (OR = 0.043, 95%CI: 0.292-0.981, P < 0.05).…”

Background Eating behavior is influenced by multiple factors and understanding the interplay of these factors is necessary to promote children’s healthy food choices. This study investigated the relations of family food environment (FFE) factors with food and nutrition literacy (FNL) in Chinese school-age children.Methods A total of 605 children aged 7 ~ 13 years from grade 1 to 5, and their caregivers participated in the cross-sectional study in Beijing of China during April 2019. The FFE was assessed by the validated Family Food Environment Questionnaire for Chinese School-age Children (FFEQ-SC). For the children of grade 3 to 5 (n = 260), the FNL, including cognitive and skill domains, was assessed by Food and Nutrition Literacy Questionnaire for Chinese School-age Children (FNLQ-SC). Both FFEQ-SC and FNLQ-SC were developed firstly for Chinese school-age children and had good reliability. The anthropometric data (height and weight) was derived from local health information management system for primary schools.Results Overall, 68.9% of the children’s families had higher level of FFE. The total FNL score of 260 children from grade 3–5 was 63.23 ± 10.32. Comparison of children’s FNL score among different levels of FFE showed the children with higher level of FFE, especially higher level of caregiver’s educational degree and FNL, were more likely to have significant higher FNL scores (P < 0.05). The multivariate analysis showed the children’s total FNL score was significantly related with family caregiver (β= -0.123, P = 0.04) and caregiver’s nutritional literacy (β = 0.210, P = 0.002). Furthermore, the children with higher level of caregiver’s nutritional knowledge were less likely to be overweight or obesity (OR = 0.043, P = 0.04).Conclusions and Implications: Family food environment, especially caregivers’ FNL, were significantly related with children’s FNL, even the risk of overweight. These findings highlight the importance of targeting nutritional knowledge of family caregivers to facilitate the children’s FNL to maintain good health.

“…Heather D. Gibbs, et al, 6 dalam penelitiannya terkait literasi gizi pada orang tua dan hubungannya dengan kualitas diet anak menyimpulkan bahwa literasi gizi pada orang tua merupakan suatu pendidikan yang penting untuk dilaksanakan karena akan menentukan sejauh mana kualitas diet anak-anaknya. Penelitian ini mengungkapkan bahwa kualitas diet pada anak dikaitkan dengan pendapatan orang tua, usia, dan tingkat pendidikan (Pvalue <0,001) dan hasil analisis multivariat menunjukkan bahwa untuk setiap 1% peningkatan literasi gizi, ada peningkatan child Healthy Eating Index atau indeks makan sehat sebesar 0,51 (koefisien multivariat, 0,174; Pvalue <0,001).…”

Literasi gizi (nutrition literacy) merupakan suatu tingkatan sejauh mana seorang individu memiliki kapasitas atau kemampuan untuk mendapatkan, memproses, dan memahami informasi terkait gizi. Tingkat literasi gizi pada remaja terkait dengan pola konsumsi makan yang akan berkontribusi terhadap masalah gizi pada remaja seperti obesitas, anemia, dan gangguan makan lain juga berdampak terhadap kondisi kesehatan secara umum. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif menggunakan desain cross sectional. Populasi penelitian ini adalah seluruh siswa dan siswi di SMAN 2 Tangerang Selatan dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 148 orang. Instrument yang digunakan berupa kuesioner unutk mengukur tingkat literasi gizi. Asupan makanan remaja diukur malalui metode food recall 2x24 jam yang akan menghasilkan tingkat konsumsi masing-masing zat gizi dari bahan makanan yang dikonsumsi. Status gizi diukur dengan metode indeks massa tubuh (IMT) dengan menggunakan parameter berat badan dan tinggi badan remaja. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang kuat dan signifikan antara literasi gizi dengan status gizi (r=0,576) dan asupan energy (r=0,560). Sedangkan hubungan antara literasi gizi dengan asupan zat gizi protein (r=0,196), lemak (r=0,167) dan karbohidrat (r=0,290) relatif lemah. Hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi bahan materi ajar dalam melakukan pendidikan terkait literasi gizi bagi remaja.
