- Food choices among Portuguese teenagers: a case studyPublication . Guimarães, Maria de Fátima; Carapeto, CristinaThe Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP) is currently accepted as being protective against some of the most worrisome chronic non-communicable diseases in today's society. It is important to instil this nutritional pattern in young people as it is at this point in life that healthy eating habits are created and later maintained. Assessing the adherence of students to the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP). A case study was carried out with 463 students aged between 14 and 20 years old. Parents of the youngsters were also surveyed to find out about the accuracy of the youth's answers and to determine the type of food preparation practiced in the family. Those who participated in this study had an informed consent, previously signed by their parents and voluntarily expressed their willingness to participate, although they could drop out at any time if they so wished. The results showed a good adherence to the Mediterranean Dietary Pattern (MDP) by the respondents (46.47%) and their knowledge about the concept of the Mediterranean Diet can be classified as “good” (39.7%) and “reasonable” (36.6%). The main conclusions of the study are that the students participating in the study have a good knowledge about the Mediterranean Food Pattern and show a high level of adherence to it.
- Young people in Portugal and the mediterranean diet: a case studyPublication . Carapeto, Cristina; Guimarães, Maria Fátima; CABIThe study assessed the adherence to the Mediterranean Diet (MD) among 467 secondary school students from the D. Afonso Sanches School Group, in Vila do Conde, Portugal, correlating the KIDMED index with data on eating habits, cooking methods, and socio-economic factors, collected through bespoke questionnaires designed by the authors. A high point-in-time adherence to the KIDMED index was observed (52.2% high), although actual eating practices diverged from MD principles: insufficient consumption of fruit (21%) and vegetables (19%), high fast-food intake (65%), and increased sedentary behaviour exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Identified barriers included the cost of fresh products (78%), limited Mediterranean options in school canteens (84%) and strong advertising influence (90%). It is recommended to articulate assessment tools (KIDMED and food frequency questionnaires), implement culinary workshops, revise school menus, provide incentives for local producers and promote food literacy campaigns, alongside extracurricular physical activity programmes.
