A national survey was developed in order to assess the difficulties and the potential benefits that the adult Spanish population perceive when they try to eat a healthier diet and also to help nutrition educators to develop relevant and specific strategies to promote healthy eating.
The study survey was carried out according to an established protocol on a representative sample of 1009 Spanish subjects over 15 years of age selected by a multi-stage procedure. This study belongs to a partnership in a pan-European survey about food, nutrition and health. The analysis was focused on the evaluation of the seven most frequently chosen barriers and benefits.
There was a trend to select as the main barriers: 'irregular work hours' (29.7%), 'willpower' (29.7%) and 'unappealing food' (21.3%), while 'prevent disease' (73.6%) was the most frequently selected benefit to healthy eating. About 20% of the subjects said they did not have any difficulty eating healthier and most people believed that healthy eating was associated with at least one benefit.
In Spain, nutrition educators should be aware that an irregular and busy lifestyle, willpower and food-related factors (such as price and unappealing foods) are the main perceived barriers to healthy eating. Conversely, the prevention and health promotion aspects are the main perceived benefits.
开展一项全国性调查，以评估西班牙成年人群在尝试选择更健康饮食时所察觉到的困难和潜在益处，并帮助营养教育工作者制定相关且具体的策略来促进健康饮食。
该研究调查依据既定方案，通过多阶段程序从1009名15岁以上的西班牙受试者中选取具有代表性的样本进行。本研究是一项关于食品、营养与健康的泛欧调查合作项目的一部分。分析聚焦于对七个最常被提及的障碍和益处的评估。
倾向于选择的主要障碍有：“工作时间不规律”（29.7%）、“意志力”（29.7%）和“食物缺乏吸引力”（21.3%），而“预防疾病”（73.6%）是选择健康饮食时最常被提及的益处。约20%的受试者表示他们在选择更健康饮食方面没有任何困难，且大多数人认为健康饮食至少与一项益处相关。
在西班牙，营养教育工作者应意识到，不规律且忙碌的生活方式、意志力以及与食物相关的因素（如价格和缺乏吸引力的食物）是人们察觉到的健康饮食的主要障碍。相反，预防和健康促进方面是人们察觉到的主要益处。
