The objectives of this study were to examine the understanding of healthy eating, to assess the perceived need to change eating habits, to identify information sources about healthy eating among Croatian adults and to compare it with other Mediterranean countries. The sample included 1,006 randomly selected Croatian subjects over 15 years of age. The questions were adapted from the Pan-European Survey (1995-1996). A total of 50% of the participants described healthy eating as 'fresh and natural foods', more than one-half believed there is no need to change eating habits (53%) and 'newspapers/magazines' (26%) were identified as the most frequently used sources of information about healthy eating. Older males, either unemployed or retired, of lower educational background and monthly incomes, and the overweight and obese were the subgroups of the Croatian population that pose a real challenge to health nutrition promoters. A comparison with Mediterranean countries showed a higher level of similarity in attitudes with Italians.
本研究旨在考察克罗地亚成年人对健康饮食的理解，评估他们改变饮食习惯的意愿，确定他们获取健康饮食信息的来源，并与其他地中海国家进行比较。该研究的样本包括 1006 名随机抽取的 15 岁以上的克罗地亚人。问题是根据泛欧调查（1995-1996 年）改编的。共有 50%的参与者将健康饮食描述为“新鲜天然的食物”，超过一半的人认为没有必要改变饮食习惯（53%），“报纸/杂志”（26%）被认为是获取健康饮食信息的最常用来源。克罗地亚人口中，年龄较大的男性、失业或退休、教育程度较低、月收入较低、超重和肥胖人群，是对健康营养推广者构成真正挑战的群体。与地中海国家的比较显示，意大利人的态度更为相似。
