Due to the increasing proportion of the elderly in the European Union knowledge of health and nutritional status has to be complemented by studies focused on food preferences and health behavior. A comprehensive literature review has been conducted. The state of the art documents a gap in understanding why differences exist between food knowledge, attitudes and practices. Inadequate attention has been given to cultural factors. Research into the reasons for nutrition behavior and food choice is of key importance for the future.
由于欧盟老年人口比例不断增加,健康和营养状况的知识必须通过关注食物偏好和健康行为的研究加以补充。我们进行了全面的文献综述。现有文献表明,在理解食物知识、态度和行为之间为何存在差异方面存在空白。对文化因素的关注不足。研究营养行为和食物选择的原因对未来至关重要。
