To determine the main perceived benefits associated with healthy eating among European adults. Efforts to make a healthy diet more attractive have to be based on motives capable of stimulating alterations in nutritional behaviour.
A cross-sectional study in which quota-controlled, nationally-representative samples of approximately 1000 adults from each country completed a face-to-face interview-assisted questionnaire.
The survey was conducted between October 1995 and February 1996 in the 15 member states of the European Union.
A total of 14331 subjects (aged 15 y upwards) completed the questionnaire. Data were weighted by population size for each country and by sex, age and regional distribution within each member state.
The question 'which specific benefits, if any, would you personally believe can be achieved by healthy eating'? was answered from a collection of 9 given items with stay healthy by 67% of subjects, with prevent disease by 66%, with be fit by 53%, with control weight by 53% and with quality of life by 45%. The most important personal benefit was asked by the question 'which one benefit would be the most personally significant for you'? 31% of subjects stated stay healthy, 24% prevent disease, 10% control weight, 10% quality of life, 9% be fit. The frequency of answered statements differed considerably between the EU countries, however, no regional structure was detected. More women then men expected benefits from healthy eating. With increasing age more people tended to believe in the benefits stay healthy and prevent disease. Be fit was a more important benefit for younger people (aged 15-34 y). People with a higher level of education associated more benefits from healthy eating.
确定欧洲成年人认为健康饮食带来的主要益处。使健康饮食更具吸引力的努力必须基于能够刺激营养行为改变的动机。
一项横断面研究，每个国家约1000名成年人的配额控制全国代表性样本完成了一份面对面访谈辅助问卷。
调查于1995年10月至1996年2月在欧盟15个成员国进行。
共有14331名受试者（15岁及以上）完成了问卷。数据按每个国家的人口规模以及每个成员国的性别、年龄和地区分布进行加权。
对于“你个人认为健康饮食能带来哪些具体益处（如果有的话）？”这一问题，从9个给定选项中进行回答，67%的受试者选择保持健康，66%选择预防疾病，53%选择保持健康状态，53%选择控制体重，45%选择提高生活质量。对于“哪一项益处对你个人最重要？”这一问题，31%的受试者表示保持健康，24%表示预防疾病，10%表示控制体重，10%表示提高生活质量，9%表示保持健康状态。然而，欧盟国家之间回答陈述的频率差异很大，但未发现区域结构。女性比男性更期望从健康饮食中获得益处。随着年龄增长，越来越多的人倾向于相信健康饮食能带来保持健康和预防疾病的益处。保持健康状态对年轻人（15 - 34岁）来说是更重要的益处。受教育程度较高的人认为健康饮食带来的益处更多。
