“…This contradiction may be attributable to the impact of different factors on nutrition knowledge, i.e. age, education, socio-economic position and occupation (32) . Moreover, high nutritional knowledge and positive attitude do not necessarily lead to behavioural outcome and dietary changes, as indicated in our study (33) .…”

Objective: Iodine deficiency still remains a major public health concern worldwide despite global progress in its elimination. The aims of the present study were to evaluate dietary iodine status in the mother and one adult member of each family and the association between mothers' knowledge, attitude and behaviour and the dietary iodine status of adult family members in Tehran. Design: In this cross-sectional study, 24 h urinary iodine and Na concentrations and the iodine content of household salt were measured. Mothers' knowledge, attitude and behaviour were assessed using a questionnaire administered in faceto-face interviews. Setting: Health-care centres from four distinct areas of Tehran. Subjects: Mother-adult family member pairs aged ≥19 years (n 290), enrolled through randomized cluster sampling. respectively. Significant correlations were observed between mothers' attitude and behaviour and the 24 h urinary iodine concentration, dietary iodine intake and iodine content of salt of adult family members. In multiple analysis, lower quartiles of salt iodine content and salt intake and inappropriate behaviour scores in mothers increased the risk of urinary iodine concentration <100 µg/l in adult family members. Conclusions: The present study showed that mothers' behaviour, but not knowledge and attitude, was among major contributors to the suboptimal dietary iodine status observed in adult family members.

“…Comparisons with other studies are hampered due to differing definitions of nutritional knowledge-which was very specific in our study-but several studies also suggest an association between nutritional knowledge and maternal consumption of certain food groups, although not specifically fish [35,36].…”

Fish and rapeseed oil consumption in infants and mothers: dietary habits and determinants in a nationwide sample in Germany

To promote fish with complementary feeding, programs should focus on families whose mothers rarely eat fish. Nutritional campaigns to improve omega-3 knowledge-especially focusing on lower social classes-could be effective in increasing rapeseed oil consumption, although these programs should be combined with environmental improvements as it has been already started through the use of rapeseed oil in commercial baby jars.
