Although the important contribution of nutrition and physical activity to people's health is known, it is equally well known that there are many barriers to adherence to healthy habits (i.e., of an organizational, economic, and/or psychological nature) experienced by the general population, as well as by people with non-communicable diseases. Knowledge of these barriers seems essential to the implementation of the activities and strategies needed to overcome them. Here, we aim to highlight the most frequent barriers to nutrition and exercise improvement that patients with chronic-degenerative diseases experience. Drawing from the Pubmed database, our analysis includes quantitative or mixed descriptive studies published within the last 10 years, involving adult participants with non-communicable diseases. Barriers of an organizational nature, as well as those of an environmental, economic, or psychological nature, are reported. The study of patients' barriers enables healthcare and non-health professionals, stakeholders, and policymakers to propose truly effective solutions that can help both the general population and those with chronic pathologies to adhere to a healthy lifestyle.
尽管人们知道营养和身体活动对人们的健康有重要贡献，但同样众所周知的是，普通人群以及患有非传染性疾病的人群在坚持健康习惯方面存在许多障碍（即组织、经济和/或心理性质的障碍）。了解这些障碍似乎对于实施克服这些障碍所需的活动和策略至关重要。在这里，我们旨在强调慢性退行性疾病患者在改善营养和锻炼方面遇到的最常见障碍。我们从 Pubmed 数据库中提取了过去 10 年内发表的涉及患有非传染性疾病的成年参与者的定量或混合描述性研究。报告了组织性质的障碍以及环境、经济或心理性质的障碍。研究患者的障碍使医疗保健和非医疗保健专业人员、利益相关者和政策制定者能够提出真正有效的解决方案，帮助普通人群和患有慢性疾病的人群坚持健康的生活方式。
