Women carry the weight of deprivation on physical inactivity: Moderated mediation analyses in a European sample of adults over 50 Years of age

Moreover, while cognitive functions play a critical role in health-behaviors trajectories at older age ( Cheval et al, 2020 ), perceiving deprivation can tax the cognitive ‘bandwidth’, which leads to a weaker ability to self-regulate one's behavior and to resist giving into unhealthy food consumption ( Beenackers et al, 2018 ; Mesler et al, 2022 ). On the other hand, though bi-directional associations between physical activity and BMI are proposed, a higher BMI has been repeatedly associated with a lower participation in physical activity (e.g., Cassidy et al, 2017 ; Ekelund et al, 2017 ).…”

Marketing motivations influencing food choice in 16 countries: segmentation and cluster analysis

“…Also Wongprawmas et al (2021) described the role of environmental aspects and health condition in the food choice and buying intention.

Family and peer communication and wine consumption among young adults: examining the role of responsible drinking practices

This is important because childhood experiences drive future food and alcohol consumption, that is, during adulthood (Mesler et al, 2021;Nettle et al, 2019). Second, this research contributes to the food and responsible consumption literature (e.g.…”

“…, 2021), by examining whether and how exposure to different types of within-family communication received during teenage years (as well as communication frequency with family members and peers) affect both wine knowledge acquisition and responsible drinking practices, and in turn wine consumption among young consumers. This is important because childhood experiences drive future food and alcohol consumption, that is, during adulthood (Mesler et al. , 2021; Nettle et al.…”
