Study Notes
Recent Trend Definition
- A trend is a change or development towards something new or different.
Factors Affecting Nutrition Trends
- 1-Biological Determinants: Hunger, appetite, taste
- 2-Economic Determinants: Cost, income, availability
- 3-Physical Determinants: Access, education, skills (e.g., cooking), time
- 4-Social Determinants: Culture, family, peers, meal patterns
- 5-Psychological Determinants: Mood, stress, guilt
Biological Determinants of Food Choice (Hunger and Satiety)
- Physiological needs are the basic determinants of food choice
- Humans need energy and nutrients to survive
- Hunger and satiety (satisfaction of appetite, absence of hunger) are regulated by the central nervous system
- Macro-nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins, fats) generate satiety signals
- Fat has the lowest satiating power, carbohydrates have an intermediate effect, and protein has the highest satiating power.
Palatability
- Palatability is the pleasure someone experiences when eating a particular food
- It is dependent on sensory properties like taste, smell, texture, and appearance
- Sweet and high-fat foods have high sensory appeal.
- Food is often consumed for its pleasure value.
- Increased palatability increases food and energy intake.
- Sensory aspects (taste, smell, appearance, texture) are major influences on food behavior and spontaneous food choices.
- Taste preferences develop through experiences and are influenced by our attitudes, beliefs and expectations.
Economic and Physical Determinants of Food Choice (Cost and Accessibility)
- Food cost is a primary determinant of food choice
- Low-income groups tend to consume unbalanced diets with low intakes of fruits and vegetables.
- Accessibility to shops/markets is another important determinant (influenced by things like transport, geographical location.)
- Healthy foods may be more expensive where supermarkets/grocery stores are located.
- Food availability influences food choice.
- Quality of a diet is not simply about the availability of more money, but the range of foods available.
Education and Knowledge
- Education level may influence dietary behavior in adulthood.
- Nutrition knowledge is not always strongly related to healthy dietary habits.
- Individuals may struggle to apply knowledge (difficulty understanding how to use the knowledge), information sources may contradict each other, or be mistrusted.
Social Determinants of Food Choice (Influence of Social Class)
- Food choices are influenced by social and cultural circumstances.
- Differences exist in social classes regarding food consumption habits and nutrient intakes.
- Poverty can result in under- and over-nutrition, problems requiring tailored interventions.
- Cultural influences like food traditions, preparation methods, and dietary restrictions can affect food choices.
- Beliefs and expectations around certain foods can influence their consumption patterns.
Social Context
- Social influences on food choices are related to the direct and indirect influence of peers and family.
- Food choices can be influenced by social factors like what others eat.
Meal Patterns
- Daily food choice motivations vary from occasion to occasion.
- Food choices are influenced by various motivations (including snacking.)
- Snacking can affect energy and nutrient intake but may not necessarily impact body mass index.
Psychological Factors (Stress and Mood)
- Stress is a frequent and often impactful factor that modifies behaviors like physical activity, smoking, and food choices.
- Stress can influence food choices in various ways (e.g., increased or decreased food intake.)
- Mood influences food choices, with mood impacting taste preference and desired/craved foods.
- Short and long-term effects on dietary intervention patterns can result from mood and stress influencing food choice behaviors.
