An investigation into the Greek secondary school graduates' knowledge and awareness of healthy diet and nutrition/Una investigación sobre el conocimiento y conciencia en dietas sanas y nutrición de los estudiantes griegos de enseñanza media

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess Greek secondary school graduates' knowledge of healthy diet, and the factors that could affect it. Our results show that, to a large extend, students know what healthy food is. They lack however satisfactory knowledge on the chemical constitution of foods. Although family plays a major role in influencing their dietary habits, their main information source, on dietary matters, is television, with school to a lesser extend. Finally students believe that school could extend its influence in the shaping of their dietary patterns through suitable educational programmes.

Key words: diet, students, health, school
