“…Although a significant association was found between snack choice, salty snack and fast food consumption frequency and BMI (p=0.003; p=0.048; p=0.045; chi-square test) certain health awareness among participating adolescents is noted since fruits and vegetables were the most often chosen snack. Furthermore, the fast food consumption frequency reported in this study (0.8-1.4 times weekly) was similar to results reported by Guiné et al (2016) for Croatian and Macedonian adults (once a week) and lower than those reported for Denmark (Lassen et al, 2016). Adolescents with obese nutritional status in this study affirmed a higher likelihood of fast food consumption supporting the previous association found between BMI increase and increasing fast food consumption (Niemeier, Raynor, Lloyd-Richardson, Rogers & Wing, 2006).…”

The potential association between determinants such as nutrition knowledge and dietary habits with obesity development among adolescents of generation Z (Zoomers) was investigated in the presented study. Data regarding meals consumption frequency, snack choice and familiarity with amounts of basic food nutrients in diet were gathered throughout a self-designed questionnaire from 854 adolescents (11-18 years) attending elementary and secondary schools in the Autonomous Province of Vojvodina, Serbia. The corresponding data was analysed and discussed primarily concerning BMI-forage , and subsequently, gender and educational stage. The association between BMI categories and examined determinants was tested using chi-square and multinomial logistic regression statistics. Although most of the surveyed adolescents had normal weight (72.1%), a notable share of overweight adolescents was also detected (17.9%). Additionally, observed irregularities in breakfast and dinner consumption frequencies and participants' modest nutrition knowledge can contribute to further diet deterioration. Statistically significant but weak associations between BMI-forage and choice of snack, dinner consumption frequency, as well as the frequency of salty snack and fast food consumption, were noted. Furthermore, an increase in nutrition knowledge was inversely associated with obesity prevalence (OR 6.56, 95% CI 1.388-31.037). As an outcome, the need for improvement regarding studied determinants especially nutrition knowledge is established and represents a task to achieve through health promotion strategies among generation Z.

“…The results also indicated that Turkish participants eat vegetables and fruits in average of 7.6 and 10.6 times a week, meaning once a day for fruits and vegetables, which was quite few. These values and tendencies were in agreement with the results found by Guiné et al (2016a). The recommended consumption portions are 3.5-6.5 cups of fruits and vegetables per day for adults, depending on several factors such as age, gender and level of physical activity (USDHHS/USDA 2015, 2010), but the results from our samples are way below these recommendations.…”

“…It was reported that people having healthy diets considered the amount of fibres present while making food choices, and they also revealed a responsible attitude of verifying any claims advertised in the label (Guiné et al 2014). It was also reported that the participants living in urban areas tended to pay more attention to food labels (Guiné et al 2016a). Same authors indicated that the Turkish participants presented the highest interest for food labelling, when compared to other countries, such as Macedonia.…”

This study investigated the Turkish consumers’ knowledge about dietary fibres and purchasing behaviours about fibre rich foods and also their attitudes towards food labelling with specific emphasis on dietary fibre. The survey consisted of a longitudinal study undertaken on a sample of 293 participants. For the analysis of the data, basic descriptive statistics was used, complemented with statistical tests (U-Mann Whitney [UMW] for comparisons between two groups and Kruskal–Wallis [KW] test for comparisons between three or more groups). Finally, a tree classification analysis was done to evaluate the relative importance of each of the possible influential variables on knowledge: age group, level of education, gender or living environment. The results revealed that both the level of knowledge about dietary fibre and foods and also the level of knowledge about dietary fibre and health effects were considered high for the general population. The classification analysis revealed that gender was the major discriminant for knowledge about dietary fibre and foods, while the most important discriminant for knowledge about dietary fibre and health effects was age. The importance of this study resided in the highlight of the pivotal factors that influence people’s knowledge about dietary fibre sources and the health benefits of its ingestion.
